Manchester United pursues Benjamin Sesko amid Newcastle offer
Manchester United is reportedly preparing a formal offer for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. The club is in urgent need of a reliable goalscorer, having managed only 44 goals in the last Premier League season, their lowest in decades. Newcastle United is also in the race for Sesko, having made an initial bid of €75 million with additional performance-related bonuses. Sources indicate that Sesko favors a move to Old Trafford, should Manchester United finalize a deal with Leipzig. Meanwhile, Leipzig has also expressed interest in Rasmus Hojlund from United, exploring the possibility of including him in any Sesko deal.
Key Takeaways

Marcel Schafer, Leipzig's sporting director, acknowledges the interest in their star player.
"Sesko may lean towards a move to Old Trafford if a deal can be agreed with Leipzig."
