Man Utd's chances of signing Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins if they miss out on Benjamin Sesko have reportedly risen.

Ollie Watkins is keen on a move to Manchester United if the club are unable to sign Benjamin Sesko, according to reports. United have now tabled a €85 million (£73.8m) bid to sign Sesko from RB Leipzig but the Bundesliga side are also considering a rival offer from Newcastle.

Ollie Watkins is said to be keen on a move to Old Trafford this summer, with Manchester United looking at alternative striker options after Newcastle improved their bid for RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko.
