🗣️ Amorim Stays Cautious Despite Šeško Buzz

 

After a recent emphatic 4–1 win over Bournemouth in the Summer Series, Amorim declined to fan transfer speculation. Addressing rumors linking United to Šeško, he said:

 

> “I don’t know what is going to happen until the market is closed. I’m really happy with the players that we had last season… we look like a different team today. Let’s continue with that.”

 

 

 

That measured diplomacy echoed earlier remarks: “The important thing is Rasmus is scoring goals… I don’t know what will happen until the market is closed.” Amorim reiterated that the strikers presently at the club are improving, offering further indication his focus remains inward for now.

🔍 The Background: Why Šeško Still Heads the List

 

United’s striker crisis is well-documented—only four Premier League sides scored fewer than their tally of 28 goals in 24 games last season, with Højlund and Zirkzee contributing only five between them. Amorim reportedly backed the club’s interest in Šeško, seeing him as a long-term solution after missing out on others like Viktor Gyökeres.

 

Šeško’s release clause is in the region of €70–80 million, and he is widely seen as realistic transfer material. United view him as the “complete package,” combining pace, aerial threat, and physical presence. Their recruitment chief Christopher Vivell—who knows the striker from the Red Bull system—is reportedly championing Šeško’s case.

 

German and club sources confirm Leipzig are open to negotiation for the right bid, though price expectations remain high and competition from Newcastle, Arsenal, and others is intensifying.

⚖️ Internal Split: Amorim’s Doubts vs. Vivell’s Push

 

There appears to be an internal division over whether Šeško fits under Amorim’s tactical profile. According to reporting, the club’s sporting director Vivell is pushing hard for United to sign the 22-year-old and believes he possesses the mental maturity and physical traits needed. Amorim, however, is reportedly more cautious—prioritizing experience and immediate effectiveness in his No. 9.

 

Despite this, some reports suggest Amorim has nevertheless signed off on pursuing Šeško at Vivell’s urging—albeit reluctantly.

💰 Financial Landscape: Can United Make It Work?

 

The club have already invested heavily totaling over £125–130 million on Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. To further fund signings, they must sell key squad members—players like Antony, Garnacho, Sancho, Rashford, and Malacia are reportedly available.

 

Šeško’s valuation sits around €70–80 million (£60–75 m). While that is substantial, financial relief from player sales may make the deal viable. Talks with Leipzig have reportedly opened, with Manchester United making exploratory contact.

🧠 Amorim’s Two Key Conditions

 

Proven Personality and Commitment

 

Amorim has placed emphasis on recruiting players who actively want to play at Manchester United—not those driven by European competition alone. He cited Viktor Gyökeres as a case in point: the Swede reportedly ruled himself out because United aren’t in the Champions League. Šeško, by contrast, has reportedly indicated Old Trafford remains his preferred destination.

 

Needs, Not Projects

 

Despite Šeško’s talent, Amorim appears intent on finding a striker who can deliver immediately. Given the goalscoring reliability of Watkins and other Premier League-proven forwards, he may see Šeško—who has not played in England—as a risk. This explains his relative hesitation.

⚽ Tactical Fit: Threats vs. Style Demands

 

Amorim’s 3‑4‑3/3‑4‑2‑1 formation demands a striker who can press quickly, link play effectively, and roam the box with athleticism. United see Šeško as fulfilling that template—offering a blend of power, height, pace, and aerial capability. TeamTalk reports describe him as a “beast” ideal for United’s style. Vivell and recruitment sources argue that Šeško ticks multiple boxes.

 

Yet doubts linger. Amorim may prefer a seasoned alternative like Ollie Watkins, who brings Premier League pedigree and reliability. Watkins is reportedly valued at around £60 million by Aston Villa—but Villa have refused to sell. That could push United to focus instead on Šeško or perhaps Nicolas Jackson—as secondary options.

🗓️ Status Update: Where Things Stand Today

 

Formal offer submitted? No. Although internal contact and scouting continue, no formal bid has been lodged as of late July. SVP Vivell has traveled to Germany in preparation.

 

Competition heating up. Newcastle, Arsenal, and Chelsea continue to circle Šeško and other forwards like Jackson and Watkins. Šeško is reportedly most interested in United.

 

Deadline pressure. With window time shrinking, Manchester United may be forced to decide between Šeško or a fallback option—and weigh patience against urgency.

✅ Key Takeaways

 

1. Amorim remains non-committal on Šeško; he has declined to confirm whether United are actively negotiating.

 

 

2. Internal tension—Vivell is advocating strongly for the move, while Amorim is reportedly doubtful about the striker’s readiness to succeed immediately.

 

 

3. Šeško fits the profile: young, athletic, technically sound, and motivated to join United. He passes Amorim’s test of character.

 

 

4. Funding depends on outgoings: United need sales of Garnacho, Sancho, Antony, or Rashford to bankroll this and other moves.

 

 

5. Time is running out—no formal bid yet, escalating competition, and the window closing fast. United may have to pivot if a deal can’t close soon.

📝 Summary

 

While Benjamin Šeško remains Manchester United’s top striker target, Rúben Amorim is keeping a guarded stance. His recent remarks emphasize focus on fitness, form, and performance from within rather than player-market speculation. Meanwhile, internal dynamics suggest a struggle between Christopher Vivell’s long-term recruitment vision and Amorim’s demand for immediate, proven performance.

 

As the window moves toward its closing stages, United’s capacity to complete a deal likely hinges on incoming cash from sales. Šeško ticks the boxes on ability and motivation—but scale, cost, and uncertainty over adaptation may mean Amorim treads cautiously. Whether United make a bold move or shift to a more experienced No.9 could define their attacking potential next season.
