Man United chief executive Omar Berrada insists the club are 'working around the clock' to strengthen the squad amid interest in £70m-rated Benjamin Sesko

Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada says the club are ‘working around the clock’ to strengthen the squad before the transfer window closes.

United have spent close to £140million this summer on Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon.

They want to bring in a new striker as talks continue over RB Leipzig centre-forward Benjamin Sesko, with a central midfielder and goalkeeper the other possibilities.

Speaking before United’s final US tour game against Everton in Atlanta, Berrada said: ‘We have to do a lot of multi-tasking. We have a team back home led by (director of football) Jason (Wilcox), the recruitment team, that is working around the clock to ensure that we continue to find opportunities to strengthen our squad.
