Manchester United are reportedly considering a major shake-up in their attack as striker Rasmus Højlund struggles to impress in pre-season. 

According to a BBC Sport report, Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško have emerged as top targets should United move for another forward before the transfer window closes.

Højlund, who managed just 10 goals in 52 appearances last season, has yet to find the net in pre-season matches. Despite earning praise from manager Rúben Amorim for his physicality and movement, fans and analysts remain concerned about his finishing.

Amorim’s remarks after the team’s 2–1 win against West Ham suggested growing impatience. One first-half miss by Højlund reportedly drew a visibly frustrated reaction from the manager.

United are aware that signing a new striker will require offloading unwanted players like Garnacho, Antony, Sancho, and Malacia, who were excluded from the club’s U.S. tour. Rashford, meanwhile, has officially joined Barcelona.

Villa have insisted that Watkins, 29, is not for sale, although reports suggest that stance could change closer to the deadline. United are also wary of a reported £60 million price tag, especially with Watkins’ current contract running till 2028.

Meanwhile, Sesko, 22, is also being monitored by Newcastle United, who are still hunting for attacking options. The Slovenian forward netted 13 goals in 33 Bundesliga matches last season and is viewed as a long-term prospect.

Despite spending £130M this summer on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and defender Diego Leon, United may still add firepower upfront — preferably someone with Premier League experience, as per Amorim’s latest comments.

As September’s deadline approaches, United’s transfer drama is far from over.
