Benjamin Sesko touches down in private jet at Manchester Airport before being whisked away to seal £74m Man Utd transfer

Benjamin Sesko got into the UK prior to his medical with Manchester United.

The Slovenia International is about to complete a sensational transfer from RB Leipzig to the Red Devils.

United has fought from Prem Rivals Newcastle for the signature of the striker and stole a march on Thursday about the Magpies by agreeing a £ 74 million deal for the 22-year-old with Leipzig.

Due to the deal, however, United will pay a first £ 66.5 million and an extra £ 7.3 million in add-ons.

After the agreement, Leipzig gave their star -striker permission to travel to the United Kingdom to undergo a medical at the Training Ground of United's Carrington.

And Sesko touched on Manchester Airport tonight to get a step closer to completing a huge move.

Earlier this summer, Sesko was on the radar of the old League-rival Arsenal of United.

But the Gunners ended their interest in the Slovenian to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.

Newcastle moved to Sesko last week in an attempt to replace the wild striker Alexander Isak, who wants to become a member of Prem Champions Liverpool.

The winners of last season's Carabao Cup have submitted an £ 71 million offer for the services of Sesko.

But Sesko has made a move to St James' Park in favor of a switch to Old Trafford.

Sunsport understands that he preferred the prospect of playing in the Theater of Dreams when both options became a possibility.

In the summer of 2023, Sesko came to Leipzig of the sister club of the German Outfit RB Salzburg for a fee of £ 20 million.

For the Bundesliga club since his move to the Red Bull Arena, he scored 27 goals and collects 7 assists in 64 performances.

Twenty -one of those goals, including four in the Champions League, arrived last season.
