Ruben Amorim has devised a special plan for Rasmus Hojlund if Manchester United complete the signing of Benjamin Sesko deal from RB Leipzig. United are closing in on the signing of Sesko, with the club’s hierarchy now actively negotiating with the German side over a £70 million ($92m) deal.

According toSesko's potential switch to Old Trafford is not viewed as a replacement for Hojlund. Instead, Amorim sees this acquisition as an opportunity to enhance his squad’s firepower and bring the best out of both young forwards.

It has been stressed that Hojlund remains an integral part of the team’s future, particularly after his recent standout performance in the 4-1 pre-season victory over Bournemouth at Soldier Field, where he scored twice. He is expected to thrive alongside Sesko, with Amorim believing that genuine competition for the striker role could serve as a powerful motivator for the 22-year-old.

Amorim's confidence stems in part from his track record of nurturing rising stars into prolific attackers. While at Sporting Lisbon, he transformed Viktor Gyokeres into a clinical and dominant presence up front. The Portuguese coach now sees a similar opportunity with Sesko. Standing at 6ft 5in, the 21-year-old has the physical tools and raw ability that Amorim believes he can sharpen into a lethal offensive weapon for United.

DID YOU KNOW?

Amorim views Sesko as the explosive element currently lacking in United’s forward line. The Slovenian’s blend of size, athleticism, and technical ability fits perfectly into Amorim’s tactical plans for a more dynamic, multi-dimensional attacking system. At the same time, the Portuguese boss sees the new arrival as a catalyst that will help Hojlund push past the mental hurdles that affected his consistency last season.
