Manchester United signed Slovenian international Benjamin Sesko today, the third forward the 20-time English champions have acquired in the close season.
Manchester United completed a £73.7m deal to sign striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig with the 22-year-old signing a five-year contract at Old Trafford, with Man Utd set to pay an initial £66.26m with £7.36m in performance-related add-ons for the Slovenia international.
Sesko was formally presented to Man Utd supporters on Saturday, ahead of the club’s final pre-season friendly against Fiorentina. United are understood to be delighted with the deal they have struck with RB Leipzig. They did not want to get embroiled in a bidding war with Newcastle – and are paying less up front than Newcastle’s improved second bid. Sesko who has scored scored 39 goals in 87 games for RB Leipzig after joining them from Red Bull Salzburg two years ago, will be looking to continue his goal scoring abilities with the Red Devils.
