Manchester United are on the verge of signing Slovenian international striker Benjamin Sesko from RP Leipzig.

Manchester United have agreed a deal worth up to 85 million euros ($99m) to sign striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, according to multiple reports in England.

United will reportedly pay an initial 76.5 million euros ($89m) for the 22-year-old with a further 8.5 million euros ($9.9m) due in add-ons.

Newcastle United were also interested in signing the Slovenian, possibly to replace wantaway star Alexander Isak, a target for Liverpool.

However, Sesko has been wooed by the enduring stature of the 20-time English champions, despite a lack of European football in the coming season.
