Man Utd flop 'now directly told' to leave after Sesko transfer

Manchester United are looking to trim their bloated squad ahead of the 2025-26 season.

They have splashed around £200 million to sign Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.

The arrival of Sesko has thrown Rasmus Hojlund’s future into serious jeopardy.

According to reliable journalist Ben Jacobs, Hojlund has now been directly told he will need to leave to gain minutes this season and is considering his options.

AC Milan have emerged as frontrunners for the Danish forward, with the Rossoneri keen to bolster their attacking firepower.

The Red Devils are open to selling the 22-year-old outright but are also willing to sanction a loan deal.

Milan are prepared to meet United’s £40m valuation with a loan fee and a buy obligation.

Hojlund joined United from Atalanta in 2023 in a move that promised so much but has yet to deliver.

A return to Serie A could be the lifeline he needs to reignite his career and focus on steady development.

He endured a forgettable 2024-25 season, netting merely four goals in over 30 Premier League games.

Despite getting many opportunities under manager Ruben Amorim, Hojlund failed to deliver.

His goal drought was compounded by ineffective link-up play, leaving him isolated and out of rhythm with the team.

His poor positioning and understanding of making timely runs drew ire of the supporters.

Amorim gave him a clear message by keeping him on the bench as an unused substitute against Florentina on Saturday.

Sesko appears to be an upgrade over Hojlund, considering his stronger physical attributes.

The Slovenian will provide aerial threat and is known for his long-range shooting.

Joshua Zirkzee will act as his deputy while Mason Mount, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo can all fill in as emergency strikers if needed.

A buy option of £30m-£40m will help United bolster their transfer budget for the 2026 summer.
