Chelsea Icon Leboeuf Warns Sesko Against Joining Troubled Manchester United

As of 2025-08-07T07:01:03+00:00, RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko has been linked with a move away from the Bundesliga club, with both Manchester United and Newcastle United interested in his services. However, according to journalist David Ornstein, Leipzig have accepted a bid worth €82.5 million plus €2.5 million add-ons from Newcastle, but Sesko only wants to move to Old Trafford.

Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has shared his thoughts on Sesko's potential move to Manchester United. Leboeuf stated that if he were in Sesko's position, he would not have chosen the Red Devils over Newcastle United. Leboeuf explained that based on Manchester United's recent performances and Newcastle's progress, he would "always go to Newcastle" as they are more likely to be fighting for Champions League or Europa League spots.

Meanwhile, former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre has urged Rasmus Hojlund to fight for his place even if the club signs Benjamin Sesko. Silvestre believes the team needs more competition for positions and pointed out that they have had some departures, such as Marcus Rashford joining Barcelona on loan this summer.
