Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie are only three attackers who managed to win the Golden Boot Premier League Prize during their respective periods at Manchester United.
The three players managed to capture the heart of the fans base, helping Sir Alex Ferguson to win 13 first division titles in Old Trafford, later transforming the club into one of the biggest clubs in the world.
However, since his retirement at the end of 2012/13, the Red Devils have failed to finish at the top of the high flight in England, with their lack of attack threatening playing a huge role in their lack of success.
Ruben Amorim’s team managed to score only 44 times in their last 38 league campaign, which led to the additions of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
Despite the work already carried out by the hierarchy, new signatures are targeted in the last third, in order to return to their old glory.
The last on the hunt for new attackers of United
Countless attackers were constantly linked to a decision to join United this summer, but yet no offer was concluded to win Amorim a new Talisman.
People like Dušan Vlahović, Nicolas Jackson and Randal Kolo Muani were all praised with moves to Old Trafford, but they may have won over another target.
Benjamin Sesko is the last attacker who appeared on their radar this summer, with the latest update of Fabrizio Romano by putting the supporters a raison d’être excited.
He claims that Amorim representatives were in concrete talks with the Red Devils for a move to the club, but they could face the competition from Newcastle United for his signature.
Romano also declares that Slovenian is now part of the club’s restricted list to be their new new number, but that any agreement could cost up to 80 million pounds sterling during this window.
Why the last target of United could be their own version of Isak
Alexander Isak has been one of the main attackers of the Premier League in the past two years, being often a player to fear when he runs to the Magpies.
The Swedish recorded 54 goals in the league during his three years in England, ending last year on 23 goals, with only Mohammed Salah from Liverpool did more in 2024/25.
However, he too could be a moving player, declaring his desire to move away from St James’ Park this summer to take up a new challenge.
The Red Devils were one side in the race, but given their recent bad finishes in high flight in England, he wants to move to a larger club, Liverpool leading the race to his services.
Despite the lack of this 25 -year window, other options such as SESKO were considered in United, potentially being the own version of the attacker.
It has a very similar set of skills given their enormous framework and their bizarre complete talent by having rhythm bags as well as a superb aerial capacity which could cause the opposition to any end of the problem.
They also have huge ball typing capacities, the pair both recording the most powerful strikes of their respective divisions throughout the last campaign.
By diving into their statistics from 2024/25, the Slovenian managed to produce impressive figures, many of which were better than those recorded by Isak in the Premier League.
Sesko, which was previously labeled “phenomenal” of analyst Antonio Mango, managed to display a higher shot on the target precision rate last season, subsequently putting UNITED a more precise option in front of the goal.

Given the lack of quality of the club in advanced areas, the impressive success of the Leipzig star could also give Amorim a new dimension in the last third, having the capacity to torment the opposition if necessary.
Its key talents are more reflected in its 59%aerial success rate, surpassing Isak in such a department, which could offer the Red Devils a dominant focal point necessary in their quest for success.
Its current requested price of around 80 million pounds sterling may seem extremely expensive, but at only 22 years old, it has bags of time to rely on its early success in professional game.
If he can reproduce such a form from the Bundesliga, it would be a stellar addition, having the capacity to transform the fortune of the team in the attack zones, while being able to make them a force with which it is necessary to count in the Premier League.
