RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko is reportedly 'very likely' to pick Manchester United over Newcastle United as his next destination. Sesko has become the subject of a transfer battle between two Premier League clubs looking to sign a new number nine this summer.

Manchester United have submitted a bid of €75million plus €10m in add-ons for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. Leipzig are yet to respond to the Premier League club’s proposal. The Athletic reported on July 30 that Manchester United were prioritising a move for the 22-year-old forward if they were to sign another striker this summer and had made informal contact with the Bundesliga club.
