United are said to have made “informal contact” with RB Leipzig regarding a move for their 22-year-old striker. The Red Devils were previously thought to be unconvinced by Šeško who still needed “significant development” and did not justify Leipzig’s demands of over €75 million (£65.2 million, $88.2 million).

Manchester United has identified RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko as their primary striker target for the summer transfer window.

Newcastle United were actively pursuing RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko and Brentford’s Yoane Wissa but internal sentiment at St. James' Park suggests that Sesko is edging closer to a move to Manchester United,
