Italian transfer insider, Fabrizio Romano, is reporting that Benjamin Sesko is definitely on Man United’s shopping list despite competition from Newcastle, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund.
It appears Manchester United may be ahead of the pack unless Newcastle fans see the player’s agent’s photograph on social media of him having dinner on Tyneside, is anything to go by.
The giant 6ft 4″ Slovenian striker is currently playing for Redbull Salzburg and the 19-year-old giant forward is being touted as one of the emerging talents in European football.

Sesko started at hometown club Radece before signing a three-year contract with Red Bull Salzburg. On January 30, 2021, he made his debut against TSV Hartberg.
