Manchester United have finally made their move for Benjamin Sesko with a bid of up to €85m (£73.9m) and believe the striker wants to join them.

Manchester United have submitted their first offer to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko ahead of Newcastle United, according to reports in Germany. Newcastle submitted their opening bid for Sesko over the weekend but their offer of €75m (£65.5m) up front, plus an additional €5m (£4.3m) in bonuses, was rejected by RB Leipzig.

Manchester United have submitted a £65.2m plus £8.7m add-ons bid to RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko, according to The Athletic. Last month, it was reported that the Reds were prioritising a move for the Slovenia international if they were to sign another striker this summer and informal contact was made with the Bundesliga club.
