His agent was in Manchester today
“Agent Benjamin Sesko, Elvis Basanovic, was pictured in Manchester today with his colleagues at an event. (RV)”
Led to believe that this pic is a few years old...
Benjamin Sesko | Despite Raees best efforts he’s joining Liepzig. Damn you Raees

I was about to comment on him not looking 13 in that picture and then realised he’s not even in the picture. Then I realised I know so little about the player I don’t even know what he looks like.
We still absolutely must sign him though.

I completely agree with this. However the key is not to put them on silly wages, which we have done in the past. That’s what prevents us moving on players that haven’t worked out.
The problem is that as soon as United are in the picture for a player like this then a number of teams follow the bandwagon and since we always take ages to conclude deals then we get beaten to it by some other team.
Name me 3-5 instances of this happening
Damn, loosing Malacia to Lyon and Martinez to Arsenal really hurt.
I do find it weird how some just want to stick to myths for the sake of it.
Hearing good things about this transfer, may soon be the refuge for a lot of muppets. Any standard lines (positive or negative) that need constant repeating?
Complete misread of the situation imo.
More likely we are never involved, our name being used by agent/ player to hype him up or by the selling club to increase price.
I'd say given that Salzburg don't want to sell and United will pay way over the odds, it's either United or nothing.
She didn’t say 3-5 instances, though. She said always.
You would only need one instance of the opposite to disprove her. Like for instance Malacia or Martinez.
Some people think they know it all about United and then they get proved wrong.
I'm just saying that if we don't move fast we'll lose this guy.
You mean if a Bundesliga club makes a move for him next week and he proceeds to score 25 in the German BuLi?
->That's not very likely, because no German club is linked with him and also non of them would spend £45 million on an unproven prospect. And there is close to zero chance that he would score 25 goals in the Bundesliga.
Or do you really think him scoring 25 in the Austrian BuLi would make him a £60M+ striker?
->Then let me tell you about the famous Shon Weissman, Patson Daka, Robert Beric, Munas Dabbur, Philipp Hosiner, Alan and Johnny Soriano, the latest few who accomplished that feat and then went on to have exceptional international careers.
->no transfer out of the Austrian Bundesliga has ever been above £26M, and that includes Sadio Mane, Haaland, Upamecano, Adeyemi, Naby Keita etc. who were clearly above Sesko in terms of talent and also development. None of them cost more than 26M altough they had their breakout year already, and you think Sesko will be above 60M ??
List of teenagers in football history that got transfered for £60M+
-Mbappe
-Dembele
-Felix
that's it.
In this case, a proxy for his true level would be closer his xG which was almost a third of his actual successful strike rate.
Chelsea want him too right?
So they are working on signing him.....what does he mean by PUSHING?
Is this just to make his comments longer???
Not really. Not many players have historically over-performed their xG over multiple seasons. The elite strikers are better at creating good shooting opportunities and getting in good positions as opposed to actually being better putting it in the net in the aftermath of getting these chances.
It means they’re pushing to sign him, it’s hard to describe without using the word in the definition.
Basically means that they’re determined to sign him, it’s they’re focus right now. They want him and are trying their best to make it happen. They’ll be in constant communication with Salzburg, being a little pushy with it.
Actually think this would be a great signing if we get it for reasonable money. He is already strong and offers something different to what we have right away so I think he could get minutes this season. Looks like he will work hard too
If they know that Ronaldo wants to leave, there is no way we can get him on the cheap.
Who don't Chelsea want? I'm surprised we've been able to get Tom Huddlestone without them making a play for him.
I feel like he has to be brought in immediately and included in the first team rotation if he's signed. We have no natural CFs. None.
Yeah, but how is it possible to know what his 'true level' was? He was a breakout talent. If there is an established track record of goalscoring form then it's easier to interpret xG. I mean, Greenwood scoring from improbable angles might have been unsustainable to an extent, but he scored those goals because he had the balance, power, technique, and vision to pull them off. He wasn't an average player - he was regarded as an elite level talent, so while his actual output may have dropped somewhat, it is impossible to gauge by how much.
That’s just not true!
Well if that was the case it would be all over Sky and the BBC and it is not.... it is just Fabbo talking more shite!
What does it matter what league he is from? This should have no bearing on the price.
Why not?
Of course it should. A player from the Dutch or Belgian league for instance will have it a lot easier to stand out in that league than in the PL, La Liga.
If someone scores 30 goals in the Premier League their price will obviously be higher than if they score 30 in the MLS.
I don't lie.
Said the Salzburg chairman and nobody else
Mason Greenwood was the most promising player to break out of our academy since Giggs.
It's still gutting what happened with him. I thought Ravel not fulfilling his promise was heartbreaking. Greenwood was worse, because he had already made a number of appearances and proven himself.
To even stay in the top 6 conversation we need options…we are not a top side anymore, we are not an important club anymore - so the top shelf up and coming players - Haaland, Bellingham, Nunez…are not really interested in us.
how anyone could complain about us signing this guy is beyond me.

We will sleep walk into the Top6 don’t overreact. We were at our worst last year and made it. We need to aim higher and we will, I’m confident we will finish in the Top 4, mid season transfer window is still there too and I’m sure by then the team will be in sync with the new system and we will get even better after the World Cup. I’m not as negative as most on here as I know EtH won’t accept mediocrity and he will have us competing. We have good players believe it or not, could be better but we still have good players and you all will see that.
Sigh. What a difference a year makes.
I'm well up for this signing, but this is a shocker of a post.
Complete delusion.
Didn’t say lie, I said not true!
He is not at the level of Patrick Schick as CF and full packet as a football player. But i do see and recognize the potential of the boy.
It's already a post thread about him here. No need for me to recommend him. You shall ask the starter/OP of this post/thread.

Yeah would have preferred Schick if he hadn't signed a new contract recently
If?
