Striker Sesko Snubs Champions League, Chooses Manchester United Move
30 Jul
Summary
- Sesko, 22, has decided to join Manchester United over Newcastle United
- Man Utd face competition from Newcastle for Sesko's signature
- Sesko would follow in the footsteps of Cunha and Mbeumo in joining Man Utd
In a significant development in the summer transfer market, RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko has reportedly decided to join Manchester United, snubbing interest from Newcastle United. The 22-year-old Slovenian has been one of the most sought-after young forwards this window, with several top clubs vying for his signature.
However, according to former Premier League striker Jan Åge Fjørtoft, Sesko has chosen to follow in the footsteps of recent Manchester United signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, who also turned down offers from Champions League clubs to join the Red Devils. This represents a major coup for Manchester United, who are seeking to bolster their attacking options after the departures of several players.
Newcastle United were also heavily interested in Sesko and were willing to meet his demands, but the player has ultimately decided that Old Trafford is his preferred destination. This means Manchester United will now have to negotiate a deal with RB Leipzig, who are reportedly demanding at least £65 million for the highly-rated striker.
