Manchester United are on the verge of completing the transfer of Benjamin Sesko this week as full agreement has been reached.
The attacking transformation at Manchester United is done, with Benjamin Sesko becoming the cherry on top of an already very exciting cake.
Having signed Premier League proven duo Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha already this summer, the striker remained a desire by Ruben Amorim and the transfer decision makers.
Quite quickly, United turned attentions completely toward Sesko, rivalling Newcastle for his signature, however, it was not much of a competition in the end.
Sesko chose United earlier this week, which made the deal feel like a formality with United and RB Leipzig working out the finer details of the transfer.
Now the move is very close to completion and he’s been spotted en-route.

This will see a future friendly fixture between United and Leipzig arranged, to be hosted at the Red Bull Arena, with the Energy drink named side taking the earnings from the fixture which could generate between £1.3m and £1.7m.
This is an excellent deal for all parties and United could benefit from a relationship with Leipzig given all the talent they have.
