Benjamin Sesko prefers to join Manchester United over rival bidders Newcastle United, according to Sky Sports. This is a huge boost for United, who have been in the market for a quality striker

Manchester United have won the race to sign Benjamin Sesko. The RB Leipzig striker wants to move to Old Trafford, becoming the latest in a long line of transfer targets to reject a move to Newcastle this summer.

Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson and Brentford striker Yoane Wissa are the Premier League options the Magpies are looking at. Newcastle are also considering another RB Leipzig star in Lois Openda, the Belgium international who scored nine Bundesliga goals last season.
