Manchester United target Ryan Sessegnon is eager to make a switch to Liverpool in the summer. According to recent reports, the Fulham wonderkid wants a move to Merseyside which will be a big blow for the Red Devils. It is believed that United manager Jose Mourinho is looking to strengthen his options in this ongoing transfer period and Sessegnon fits the bill perfectly.
Some sources are now claiming that the Manchester outfit are lining up a £50m move for the Cottagers starlet this summer. It has also been suggested that Sessegnon is more interested in a switch to Anfield rather than join Mourinho’s revolution at Old Trafford.
The 18-year-old has put in a number of outstanding performances for the Premier League new boys during the course of the last season which has not gone unnoticed. The English talent had made 52 appearances for Fulham last season, scoring 16 goals while providing 8 assists across all competitions.
With United set to miss out on Sessegnon, let’s take a look at three alternatives for the Red Devils to consider in this summer transfer window.
Christian Pulisic
The 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund playmaker can be considered as one of the most promising young prospects in European football and United would do well to prise him away from the Bundesliga. The American youngster is very talented and has a lot of potential which is exactly what the Red half of Manchester are craving for, as they look to build towards a bigger and brighter future at Old Trafford. Pulisic had registered 5 goals and created 7 assists in 42 matches for Dortmund last season.
Leon Bailey
The Bayer 04 Leverkusen wide man had an outstanding campaign for his club during the course of last season and has lit up the German top-flight with some dazzling performances so far. The 20-year-old Jamaican speedster has found the back of the net 12 times and made 6 assists in 34 appearances for the German outfit last season across all competitions. At the tender age of 20, Bailey has all the makings of a future star and Mourinho’s club can look to capitalise on his immense potential by securing his services this summer.
Hirving Lozano
The versatile Mexican talent plies his trade at PSV Eindhoven and had an excellent season last term. The 22-year-old winger has put in some eye-catching displays in the Dutch Eredivisie over the last few months.

The Eredivisie ace has a lot of potential and can develop into a world-beater under the guidance of the Special One if the United boss manages to make a swoop for him this summer.
