MANCHESTER: Manchester United signed Slovenia forward Benjamin Sesko on Saturday in an attempt to bounce back from their worst season in the Premier League era. United paid Leipzig a fee that could reach 85 million euros ($99 million) for the 22-year-old Sesko, who signed a five-year contract. Sesko is the third forward United have signed this offseason after a lack of goals last term saw the 20-time English champion record their lowest finish in the modern era when they placed 15th, just three places above the relegation zone.

Manchester United agree a deal worth £73.7m (85m euros) with Red Bull Leipzig to sign Benjamin Sesko.

Benjamin Sesko is due in Manchester for a medical and to sign a five-year contract after a deal for the striker was agreed
