Manchester United and Newcastle target Benjamin Sesko trained away from the first-team at RB Leipzig on Wednesday.

Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. The Old Trafford side have been battling Newcastle United for the 22-year-old striker, with both teams submitting offers. Newcastle initially tabled €75million plus €5m in add-ons, before raising that on Monday to at least €80m.

Sesko has been training separately from the rest of the Leipzig squad this week amid ongoing negotiations regarding his future, and the club confirmed on Wednesday morning that the 22-year-old continues to train alone.
