According to the British media "caughtoffside" news, Manchester United is still pursuing Villa striker Watkins, and Villa is also seriously considering Leipzig forward Oponda to deal with the possibility of Watkins leaving the team.

Manchester United is still looking for a striker, and sources are increasingly convinced that the final joining will be Watkins or Sesco. Head coach Amorin is more inclined to introduce players who have proved himself in the Premier League, and he has signed Cunha and Mbemo this summer. Although Manchester United's negotiations with Watkins have not yet entered a deep stage, it is generally believed in the industry that Amorin is very interested in the deal.

England international Watkins may be a wise short-term choice, but outsiders also believe that players like Cesco may be better long-term investments. It is worth mentioning that Manchester United's signing director Christopher Vivier is the leading figure in promoting the introduction of Sesco. Newcastle is also a strong contender for Sesco, especially Isaac's future now poses huge doubts.

And for Villa, finding a replacement for Watkins is not easy, and Oponda is obviously an option worth considering. He has performed very well in Leipzig. He has played 89 times for the team in various competitions and scored 41 goals. However, according to CaughtOffside, Leipzig will not let the Belgian international go easily, and it is reported that his transfer fee will cost at least 60 million euros.
