Manchester United are nearing a deal to sign Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for up to 85 million euros. The deal will include an initial payment of 76.5 million euros, with an additional 8.5 million euros in add-ons. Newcastle United expressed interest in Sesko, potentially to replace Alexander Isak, but he favors Manchester's renowned stature. Sesko's signing aims to improve United's attack, which was one of the league's weakest last season. He previously scored 39 goals for Leipzig and is compared to Erling Haaland due to his impressive physical attributes. United's spending on forwards has exceeded 200 million pounds, with pressure to achieve financial sustainability.

Despite Newcastle's interest, Sesko is attracted by Manchester United's stature. His arrival aims to revitalize a struggling attack that scored only 44 goals last season.
Sesko scored 39 times in 87 appearances for Leipzig, including 21 last season. He has drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland due to his physique and speed.
United's recent signings of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo bring their total investment in forwards to over 200 million pounds, with increased pressure to meet financial sustainability rules.
