The Athletic report that United have made Sesko their ‘priority’ target and contact has been made with RB Leipzig to discuss a deal.
United’s director of recruitment, Christopher Vivell, is said to be playing an influential role in the club’s push to sign Sesko as he was at Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig during their deals involving the 22-year-old.
