The Red Devils are closing in on a £74million deal to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who has been the subject of transfer interest all summer.

Sesko was an option for Arsenal earlier in the window, before they signed Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres and Newcastle also wanted the RB Leipzig striker to replace Alexander Isak.

The 22-year-old will slot straight into Amorim’s XI which will also include their other summer arrivals.

When Amorim became Man United manager last November the Portuguese manager switched the formation to a 3-4-3.

There are doubts whether Onana will be ready for Arsenal, with number two Altay Bayindir having to step in between the sticks during pre-season.

Man United have had a productive pre-season, winning the Premier League Summer Series and remaining undefeated.
