RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Šeško has clearly stated that his top priority is to join Manchester United, and he has made this intention explicit.
Šeško has reached agreements on personal terms with both Manchester United and Newcastle United; it is now up to the two clubs to decide whether to reach an agreement with Leipzig over the player. Šeško made it clear tonight that he wants to join Manchester United. Despite Newcastle
United pulling out all the stops to sign Šeško – with their offer even higher than Manchester United’s – the player appears to prefer a move to Old Trafford.
Since Manchester United entered the race with Newcastle for the Slovenian forward, there has been a prevailing sense that Šeško would choose United over Newcastle, even though the Magpies had also made a strong offer and agreed personal terms with him. As a result, Newcastle will have to look for alternative targets in the forward position.
Currently, Manchester United’s offer proves crucial. If RB Leipzig and Manchester United reach an agreement, Šeško is most likely to join United. The Slovenian forward has been a key target for Manchester United in the forward position this summer, as the club views him as the perfect option to provide genuine competition for Rasmus Højlund.
The 22-year-old forward has given the Red Devils the green light, and the club is now working to finalize a fee agreement. Personal terms are not expected to pose any issues on the financial front. Following Šeško’s expression of willingness to join Manchester United, the club feels the chances of signing him have increased. They have already submitted the official contract to the forward.
In any case, the internal feeling at United is that Šeško wants to join Manchester United, he wants to play at Old Trafford, and he wants to wear the Manchester United shirt – this is the sentiment within the club following meetings and discussions in recent hours.
