Manchester United s 85 million signing of Sheshko, plans to debut in Manchester City have been revealed! Amorin s next step to strengthen the midfield
9:35am, 8 August 2025Football
Manchester United officially reached an agreement with Red Bull Leipzig on Thursday, with a total of 85 million euros (nearly 74 million pounds) to sign Benjamin Scheshko. His transfer fee structure is a fixed amount of €76.5 million (nearly £67 million), and the rest are payment items determined by floating clauses.
Sechko and his agent Alves Barsanovic had arrived in Manchester. He was photographed taking a private car to the airport in Leipzig, boarding the plane with Manchester United's signing director Christopher Vivier. His private chartered flight landed in Manchester City, and Manchester United's team took him to the hotel.
Sechko will undergo a physical examination on Friday, and the club is scheduled to arrange his appearance in a Manchester United match against Fiorentina on Saturday. Although Newcastle United offered higher transfer fees, worth 90 million euros, Seshko chose the Red Devils.
He has a gentleman agreement with Leipzig, which can use a fixed amount of 70 million euros to 80 million euros, plus a floating amount of 5 million euros to 10 million euros. Manchester United belongs to his "special team". After Manchester United signed Seschko, they have spent 200 million pounds this summer, including 62.5 million pounds to sign Cunya from Wolves and 71 million pounds to buy Mbemo from Brentford. With 74 million pounds to 74 million pounds, a forward trident worth more than 200 million pounds has been built.
Interestingly, Seschko's rival Hoylund praised Italian transfer expert Fabricio Romano's statement that Seschko has confirmed transfer to Manchester United.
However, Manchester United's signings in the summer window have not ended yet. BBC's Simon Stone disclosed that Ruben Amorin hopes to strengthen the midfield position next. Amorin's top priority in summer window is to significantly improve the team's goal-scoring ability. They scored only 44 goals in the Premier League last season, setting the worst record since the 1973/74 relegation.
So Sir Jim Ratcliff and Ineos spent £200 million to bring in three new strikers, but now the team's question is who will play in the midfield. Manchester United's midfield position still has problems, and every candidate who may play in both positions has flaws.
Amorin's 343 style of play, midfielders must have both offense and defense. Now, with a new front trident, captain Bruno Fernandez will have to retreat. B Fee has been Manchester United's offensive core in the past few seasons, but he is by no means an all-round midfielder.
The Portuguese Ironman is characterized by free running in the midfield and frontcourt, sending a deadly pass after getting the ball, or scoring his own shot. But the 30-year-old player is not good at defense. He does not realize the opponent's offensive threat, and it is even more impossible for him to run ahead of time to block the opponent's space.
Amorin attached great importance to B fees and refused to sell him to Saudi Arabia at a high price. "Bruno runs a lot," Amorin explained the role of the compatriot in his tactical system. "Maybe he doesn't sprint fast, but he runs a lot and has a lot of endurance. He is smart, so he is not the problem. Bruno's physical ability to fight is not a problem. He is ready for physical confrontation, whether it is a striker or a midfielder."
Therefore, the club this week asked whether Brighton was willing to sell Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba to understand what conditions were needed to sign him. The 21-year-old Brighton player is a typical all-round midfielder with plenty of physical fitness, stealing and passing balls, and he is the midfield defensive player Amorin lacks.
As a player from Cameroon, Africa, Baleba is willing to join Manchester United. He was found to follow the fans of the Red Devils and the rumored trends on social media. But the only question is whether the Red Devils can still afford the price Brighton wants. "Seagulls" made it clear that they do not want to sell Baleba this summer and hope to keep him for at least one season.
Such statements do not usually mean that the transfer cannot be completed, but the buyer will have to give a higher price. British media said that Brighton's asking price is expected to be similar to the amount Chelsea introduced to Kesedo in 2022: 115 million pounds! Romano explained: "Baleba did not close the transfer door, and Manchester United had direct contact with his team. Manchester United knew that the terms of the players were not a problem, but negotiations between clubs would be very difficult. Brighton wanted to keep him this summer, so he would not let go."
