Manchester United have made an enquiry about the signing of a “world-class” player with six league titles and a Champions League win to his name.
Sesko promises more to come at Man Utd
The Red Devils secured a vital 2-0 win at home to Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday, easing some of the pressure on Ruben Amorim in the process.
It was a good day for Benjamin Sesko, who scored his first Old Trafford goal, and speaking after the game, he said there is hopefully much more to come from him at United.
“It feels amazing. It feels even better because I’ve helped the team to come to the end and to win the game. In the end, it’s important to win the game, trying to help the team as much as possible. The goal, the atmosphere afterwards was unbelievable. It’s something that I’ve been dreaming about, jumping high at the stadium like that, and yeah – [my] dreams came true.
“In the end, this is my job; trying to score as many goals as possible, trying to win the games, trying to help the team in every single situation, and hopefully [there are] more moments like this [to come].”
United’s win was a much-needed boost for anyone linked with the club, but that’s not to say that new signings aren’t needed, with one world-renowned player now mentioned as a potential target.
Man Utd make enquiry for "world-class" ace
According to Sport in Spain, Manchester United and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have enquired about signing Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, with Premier League rivals Newcastle United and Tottenham also in the mix to sign him.
The 33-year-old German is out of favour under Hansi Flick, meaning a move elsewhere is likely, with a loan option to buy possible in the January transfer window.
Ter Stegen has arguably been one of the leading ‘keepers of his generation, winning six La Liga titles and one Champions League crown during his time with Barca, also being lauded by Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann.
“We have made the decision (Neuer will start in goal). Unfortunately Manu got injured but it’s just a strain and he will only be out for ten days, so I won’t be changing my decision. I also said in a conversation with Marc [Andre Ter Stegen] that I’m happy that we have two world class goalkeepers. I explained to him that it was important that he was there for the two games.”

Admittedly, Senne Lammens produced an encouraging performance for United against Sunderland, not least keeping a clean sheet, but if the chance of signing a player of Ter Stegen’s calibre arrives, the Red Devils should take it.

At 33, he is still far from old for a goalkeeper, and he will be desperate to prove his worth before the 2026 World Cup, having lost his place in Barca’s starting lineup after injury problems.
