Benjamin Sesko is the towering forward Ruben Amorim is hoping can fire Manchester United back into the upper echelons of the Premier League.
Sesko, 22, is the subject of a transfer tug of war between the Red Devils and Newcastle United. However, the Red Devils appear to have the upper hand after their £73.7million deal was accepted by RB Leipzig on Thursday afternoon.
The Bundesliga side have given the Slovenian international permission to fly to England to complete his medical before making the move official.
It's another blow to the Magpies, who have missed out on a handful of transfer targets this summer.
And ahead of the proposed move, Sesko has revealed his diet to keep in tip-tip condition.

And Sesko finishes that off with a fruit salad featuring mango, watermelon and pineapple.
