Premier League sides Manchester United and Newcastle have both placed competing bids for in-demand RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, German tabloid Bild reported Tuesday. The German tabloid said the Red Devils made an initial bid of 85 million euros (£73.

On Tuesday, the Bundesliga club confirmed that Sesko trained individually and away from his teammates as his two year spell at the club looks like coming to an end. Sesko scored 13 goals in the league for Leipzig last season, plundering another four in the DFB Pokal and four in the Champions League.
