RB Leipzig’s star striker Benjamin Šeško has reportedly decided that his preferred destination this summer is Manchester United, not Newcastle United. This was confirmed by football insiders Ben Jacobs.
The 22-year-old Slovenian striker, who has been one of the hottest young forwards in Europe, had both English clubs chasing his signature. But on Tuesday evening, Šeško made it clear that his heart is set on playing at Old Trafford.
As reported by Sport buddy, Manchester United have officially submitted a €85 million bid to RB Leipzig for Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško
Why Šeško Chose United
Šeško is believed to be impressed with Manchester United’s project under Ruben Amorim, the club’s rich history, and their ambition to return to elite status in both the Premier League and Europe.
While Newcastle offered competitive terms and Champions League football, insiders suggest that Šeško was drawn to United’s global profile, development plan, and the opportunity to be part of a rebuilding era.
Next Steps in the Deal
With personal preference now clear, Manchester United are expected to accelerate talks with RB Leipzig. Though a fee is yet to be agreed.
Šeško scored 18 goals last season and is considered one of the most promising strikers in world football. His potential arrival would bring much-needed firepower to United’s attack and offer competition to Rasmus Højlund.
