Everton are so ‘desperate’ for strikers that they have bid £33m for a midfielder. Benjamin Sesko gets the Manchester United shirt treatment.
Crock of old shirt
This truly has been the summer transfer window of dream Manchester United shirt numbers and it seems as though Benjamin Sesko might fit right in at Old Trafford.
‘Benjamin Sesko could get dream Manchester United shirt number after transfer on one condition’
The Manchester Evening News kindly explain:
‘Currently, the striker wears the No.30 shirt for Salzburg – a number he has worn since the start of the 2020/21 campaign. It is the only number he has worn during his senior career as a Salzburg player.’
Which is one way of saying he took the No. 30 shirt when he moved up to the Salzburg first team in 2020, having worn 21 on loan at FC Liefering, 29 for Salzburg’s youth teams and 25 and 11 for the Slovenian national team.

Dressing down
If Sesko waits it out he could earn the opportunity to reject the No. 7 shirt. Cristiano Ronaldo is definitely absolutely surely on his way – at least if his Manchester United teammates have anything to do with it.
‘Man Utd dressing room want rid of Cristiano Ronaldo insists Jamie Carragher,’ reads the Daily Mirror headline. And if there is one man who will have the inside track at Old Trafford, it’s the Liverpool legend.
Here is his ‘insistence’ in full:
“No other club in Europe at this moment wants him, I might be wrong. But it doesn’t look like United can get him out, so at the moment other clubs don’t want him….
