Roy Keane has already given his seal of approval on Ollie Watkins making his way to Manchester United, as Ruben Amorim steps up his pursuit of the Aston Villa striker

Manchester United have been given a huge boost in their pursuit of Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins this summer, according to reports. The Red Devils have narrowed their striker search down to Watkins and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko as Ruben Amorim looks to complete his attacking overhaul.

But United were forced to concede defeat as Arsenal struck a deal to sign the prolific Swede and Old Trafford bosses have reportedly whittled down their shortlist to just two names: RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins.
