Manchester United quote Cesco, Hoylen s future suspense

On August 6, Manchester United recently offered Leipzig a total price of 85 million euros, striving to sign forward star Sesco. Among them, 75 million euros is the fixed transfer fee, while 10 million euros is the additional terms and amount. If the deal is successfully reached, Cesco will become Manchester United's third new forward player this summer. Previously, Manchester United had introduced Matthews Cunha and Brian Mbemo, and the offensive line ushered in a major change.

22-year-old Sesco made 45 appearances for Leipzig last season, scoring 21 goals and 6 assists. His efficient performance on the front line has attracted the attention of many European giants. This time Manchester United pursues with all their might, aiming to inject strong firepower into the team's forward line. However, Cesco's arrival puts Hoylen, who is also 22, into a subtle situation.

Hoylen joined Manchester United at a high price of 77.8 million euros in 2023, and has played 95 games for the Red Devils so far, contributing 26 goals and 6 assists. However, his performance failed to fully match his high value, and the team's forward line continued to seek upgrades, which made his future full of variables. British media pointed out that if Manchester United chooses to sell Hoylen, it is likely to suffer a loss of 40 million pounds (about 46 million euros), because the player's current value is only 35 million euros, and the sale price is expected to be cut in half.

Although the future is uncertain, Hoylen is still actively seeking opportunities to stay in the team. In Manchester United's pre-season, he fought back with his outstanding performance and quickly scored against Bournemouth, showing his good competitive form. Hoylen also made a clear statement that no matter what the team's signing situation is, he will fight for his position at Manchester United. Although Manchester United coach Amorin affirmed Hoylen's performance in the preseason, he did not make a definite promise for his future. At present, Manchester United is working hard to promote Cesco's transfer, and on the other hand, they also need to carefully weigh Hoylen's stay or leave. How to balance the relationship between new players and existing players and optimize the front line configuration will test the wisdom of Manchester United's management and coaching staff.
