United have added more firepower this summer, welcoming Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon to Old Trafford.
The club is still hunting for attacking reinforcements, with manager Ruben Amorim determined to bring in a new No.9 following Rasmus Højlund’s struggles last season.
A number of strikers have been considered, including Viktor Gyökeres—who joined Arsenal—and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins.
Šeško is also on the list, and he’s reportedly eager to join Amorim’s squad despite interest from Newcastle.
The Slovenian forward has earned a reputation as one of Europe’s brightest young talents thanks to his performances in the Bundesliga.
Cunha seems to support United’s pursuit of Šeško, having liked a notable post on social media.
He interacted with a post comparing Šeško to former United icon Zlatan Ibrahimović, captioned: “Following in his idol’s footsteps.”
Ibrahimović had a short but impactful stint at United, netting 17 league goals and lifting both the EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League.
Šeško looks poised to emulate his hero, with a move from RB Leipzig nearing completion.
United have submitted an offer worth up to £74 million, including a guaranteed £65 million fee.
Personal terms have been agreed, with a five-year contract on the table.
All that remains is for United and Leipzig to finalize the deal before Šeško can officially sign.
Once the transfer is sealed, Šeško is expected to lead the attack as United’s primary striker.
Cunha and Mbeumo, both summer arrivals, are likely to operate behind him as dual playmakers. The 22-year-old will rely on their creativity to generate scoring opportunities.
Last season, Šeško found the net 21 times across all competitions for Leipzig, including 13 goals in the Bundesliga.
