Manchester United appear to be making significant progress in their transfer pursuit of Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenia international was heavily linked with Arsenal earlier in the transfer window but now looks destined to end up at Old Trafford having become the latest centre forward to snub Newcastle United.

Man United are looking to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko this summer in their hunt for a reliable goalscoring No.9 amid the struggles of Rasmus Hojlund

United have prioritised Slovenia international Sesko as Ruben Amorim seeks to add a striker to his squad for the coming season.

Ruben Amorim speaks after Manchester United's 4-1 win over Bournemouth in preseason.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim believes he has seen a "completely different intensity" from his players during pre-season, as his side moved into pole position in the Premier League Summer Series with a 4-1 win over Bournemouth.

Ruben Amorim insists his Manchester United players are already “stronger and faster” than last season. The Red Devils are in Chicago on their pre-season tour, where they are competing in the Premier League Summer Series mini tournament.
