The club is reportedly pushing hard to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko before the September 1 deadline, and they’re doing it without needing a fire sale of unwanted players. On paper, it looked like United were tight on funds after already spending big on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

Benjamin Sesko has been linked with a move to Manchester United, and the striker's agent has already outlined the key criteria that he and his client will look for when deciding on his future

As The Manchester Evening News understands, United have opened talks with their counterparts at Leipzig over Sesko's possible transfer. The 22-year-old is now the top striker target for Ruben Amorim and a deal could stretch to £79million with various add-ons.
