### Manchester United’s Plans for a Post-Martial Era

#### Transfer Rumors at Manchester United
As Sir Jim Ratcliffe aims to guide the club back to success, the Red Devils are preparing for a busy summer. Despite United’s eighth-place finish in the Premier League, their unexpected victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final highlights the potential for a brighter future, which they plan to build on during this crucial transfer window.
Even with the FA Cup win, marking two trophies in two seasons under Erik ten Hag, there are still uncertainties regarding the Dutchman’s future at Old Trafford. Names such as Gareth Southgate and Thomas Tuchel have been rumored to be in contention for the managerial role. Regardless of who leads the team next season, an upgrade from Martial appears necessary.
### Eyeing Benjamin Sesko
According to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports, Manchester United are interested in Benjamin Sesko, an RB Leipzig forward, aiming to outbid Chelsea and Arsenal for his signature. Securing Sesko is expected to be costly, with his release clause reportedly around €65m (£55m) until the end of June and a weekly wage of £58k.
### Reflecting on Martial’s Tenure
As fans reflect on Martial’s tenure, United may find themselves investing heavily in a player who can realize the potential they once saw in the Frenchman.
### Sesko’s Standout Statistics
Following a challenging season that saw Marcus Rashford lose his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the upcoming Euros, Rashford will be keen to return to top form next season. Sesko’s clinical finishing could be crucial in this resurgence.

I read that he’s scored in his last seven matches in a row. He seems to have gained strong momentum for the Euros. He’s a forward who has everything a modern player needs. He’s tall, strong, fast, and intelligent.”
