Manchester United are reportedly still interested in signing RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko.
There was speculation surrounding the forward's future over the summer, with Man United linked with his services, while Arsenal are believed to have given serious consideration to making a move.
Sesko ultimately penned a new deal with Leipzig, though, with his current terms running until June 2029, and he has made a solid start to this season, scoring two goals and registering two assists in six appearances.
The 21-year-old arrived at Leipzig from Red Bull Salzburg in 2023, and he has scored 29 goals and registered 11 assists in 79 appearances for his current side in all competitions.
According to GIVEMESPORT, Man United still have a long-term interest in Sesko, and the club could go head-to-head with Arsenal for his signature in the not too distant future.

Man United 'still interested' in Sesko
Red Devils minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe is said to be considering giving the green light for the club to move for Sesko during next summer's transfer window.
Man United added Joshua Zirkzee to their squad over the summer, and the Netherlands international scored on his debut for the club against Fulham on the opening night of the new Premier League campaign.
Zirkzee is still waiting for his second goal for the club, but his link-up work has been impressive.
Rasmus Hojlund, meanwhile, made his first appearance of the season off the bench against Crystal Palace on Saturday, having been absent in the opening weeks of the campaign due to a hamstring issue.

Do Man United need another centre-forward?
It would be fair to say that there are concerns when it comes to whether Zirkzee or Hojlund are capable of becoming 20-goal-a-season strikers for the Red Devils.
Hojlund managed a respectable 16 goals in 43 appearances for the club last season following his arrival from Atalanta BC, and the 21-year-old has shown plenty of potential.
However, it remains to be seen whether either forward can fire Erik ten Hag's side back into the top four in the Premier League, with the club finishing down in eighth last term.
Man United are believed to have considered moving for Ivan Toney over the summer, but Ten Hag was not keen on bringing the Englishman to the club from Brentford.
The Red Devils are soon expected to confirm the arrival of 16-year-old Chido Obi Martin, with the 32-goal striker leaving Arsenal over the summer, but a deal has thus far not been completed.
