Man United plot £50million bid for out-of-favour premier league star

Manchester United want to bring Ryan Sessegnon to Old Trafford in the summer, according to reports. The Fulham youngster is the club’s prized asset, but has seen his playing time decreased under new boss Claudio Ranieri.

Ranieri was drafted in to save Fulham from relegation and thinks Sessegnon needs to be more aggressive to win a place back in his side.

United cruised by Fulham and Sessegnon on Saturday with a 3-0 win at Craven Cottage and the Express claim the Red Devils are now plotting a raid on the Cottagers. United are prepared to fork out £50million on a player who they believe is destined for great things.

Sessegnon is in talks to sign a new long-term deal at Fulham, but is said to be stalling as he considers his future. Fulham are second from bottom, seven points from safety and Sessegnon may be tempted to stay in the Premier League if the Londoners are relegated back into the Championship.

Sessegnon has a bright future ahead of him after bursting onto the scene as a 16-year-old before helping fire Fulham into the top flight. The 18-year-old scored 16 goals last term, as well as eight assists, and became the first player born after 2000 to score in the Premier League this season.

United think Sessegnon could be a long-term asset and plan to pounce on the uncertainty surrounding the teenager’s future.

It is unclear who will be in charge at United in the summer, but the frontrunner Mauricio Pochettino has long tracked Sessegnon. Tottenham are just a host of top clubs who want to sign Sessegnon, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal all being linked with the Englishman in the last 18 months.
