Benjamin Sesko says he has joined a “very special” club after completing his move to Man Utd from RB Leipzig in the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils confirmed on Saturday that the striker has signed a five-year contract with the club after they agreed to pay the east German outfit an initial fee of £66.3m. That could rise to almost £74m with add-ons.
Sesko was also wanted by Newcastle United, who agreed a transfer fee with Leipzig earlier this week, but the Slovenia international preferred a move to Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old says is he excited about what the Man Utd project looks like heading into the future, and believes it is the “perfect place” to reach his full potential and win the “biggest trophies” in football.
“The history of Manchester United is obviously very special but what really excites me is the future,” Sesko said in a statement.
“When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything is in place for this team to continue to grow and compete for the biggest trophies again soon.
“From the moment that I arrived, I could feel the positive energy and family environment that the club has created. It is clearly the perfect place to reach my maximum level and fulfil all of my ambitions.
“I cannot wait to start learning from Ruben [Amorim] and connecting with my team-mates to achieve the success that we all know we are capable of together.”
