Amid ‘s interest in Sesko, The Athletic reports that Leipzig are among several clubs now looking at Hojlund. That has ‘raised the prospect’ of a swap deal for the two strikers, with United also likely to have to stump up a fee given the disparity in the players’ valuations.

The report adds that Hojlund, who says he wants to stay and “fight” for his spot at United, would not be expected to start each game if Sesko – who is valued at upwards of £65 million ($85.5m)u0026nbsp;- joined the club. The Danish international has not been told he is directly up for sale, with the Red Devils currently valuing him at just under £45m ($59m) – a long way off his £72m ($94.7m) transfer from in 2023.u0026nbsp;

Milan reportedly held concrete interest in Hojlund, 22, but the team moved on to Ange-Yoan Bonny, who joined from Parma for €26m (£22.5m). If United do sign Sesko, they are likely to have to sell players first, with Alejandro Garnacho at the top of that list.

It remains to be seen whether Hojlund will still be a United player when the summer transfer window closes on September 1 and if Ruben Amorim’s team can secure a Sesko deal. An intriguing few weeks lie ahead.
