Manchester United keen on Ollie Watkins but baulk at Aston Villa’s £60m valuation
Manchester United are interested in signing Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa, but they are hesitant to meet the club's £60 million valuation for the England striker. Villa has already rejected bids from Arsenal for Watkins in the January transfer window and is unwilling to accept lower offers this summer. As an alternative, Manchester United may shift their focus to RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, another potential striking target. The club's previous interest in Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson is no longer part of their transfer plans. The article suggests that Manchester United is in the market for a new striker, but they are unwilling to match Aston Villa's high asking price for Watkins. The club is exploring other options, including Sesko, as they aim to strengthen their attacking lineup for the upcoming season.
