This decision comes after a disappointing season from current options Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. Manchester United is looking to sign a new striker to strengthen their team.

RB Leipzig had expected Sesko to leave the club this summer due to their failure to qualify for European football in their worst season since promotion to the Bundesliga.

However, Manchester United will not have a free run at Sesko. Newcastle is also preparing to make a bid for the striker, as they are expected to make a move for Alexander Isak.
