Benjamin Sesko could be another “disaster” signing for Manchester United if he fails to make the grade at Old Trafford. 

The Slovenia international has been linked with several top clubs following his impressive campaign with RB Leipzig.

Newcastle United have made a £69.8million bid to sign Sesko as they look to find a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, who has emerged as a target for Liverpool.

The striker is believed to be in favour of a move to Old Trafford despite being open to joining both clubs this summer.

This article contains exclusive comment from Stefan Borson, a former financial adviser to Man City.

Man United are planning to sell Rasmus Hojlund if they can sign a new forward this summer, with Sesko now emerging at the top of their list.

“If it fails, then they’ve got another disaster on their hands because we know that they’ve got a whole succession of failed forwards that they bought over the last few years, so it’s very difficult for United to know one way or the other.

“They have got to be able to sort of lay their bets and hope, and Sesko will fall into that category.”
