Rio Ferdinand tells Man United NOT to sign Benjamin Sesko and claims they should instead bring in a Brighton star

Rio Ferdinand has advised his old team Manchester United to avoid signing RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, claiming the money would be better spent on a Brighton star.

Sesko, 22, has attracted a wealth of interest from top clubs this summer and has been linked with a move to Old Trafford, with Ruben Amorim's side struggling for goals in all competitions last season.

Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee combined for a dismal seven Premier League goals, part of a multitude of problems which led to Manchester United enduring their worst ever finish of 15th in the division.
