Manchester United and Newcastle target Benjamin Sesko trained away from the first-team at RB Leipzig on Wednesday.

Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. The Old Trafford side have been battling Newcastle United for the 22-year-old striker, with both teams submitting offers. Newcastle initially tabled €75million plus €5m in add-ons, before raising that on Monday to at least €80m.

According to Ben Jacobs, the Red Devils believe that they can secure his signature and are currently negotiating the structure of the deal. Sesko has made up his mind to join the Red Devils only and is now waiting for permission to travel to the UK.
