Latest Manchester United transfer news as Benjamin Sesko has reportedly been the subject of a bid from Newcastle

Manchester United appear to be making significant progress in their transfer pursuit of Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenia international was heavily linked with Arsenal earlier in the transfer window but now looks destined to end up at Old Trafford having become the latest centre forward to snub Newcastle United.

Newcastle United have now officially entered the race for Benjamin Sesko with a €75m bid, matching Leipzig’s asking price. Manchester United remain keen, but face competition and strategic trade-offs as the summer transfer saga intensifies.
