Manchester United are getting serious in the striker market — and their next target comes from Germany. The Red Devils are reportedly ready to offer a huge sum to land Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. The move comes as the Premier League season edges closer, and the pressure to add firepower is growing at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are lining up their first offer for Benjamin Sesko after Newcastle started what RB Leipzig hope will become a “bidding war” for the striker. Newcastle have tabled an offer worth £69.8million including add-ons and United are said to be ready to match that bid after fresh talks with Leipzig over the weekend.
