Manchester United have signed RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko for £73.7m on a five-year contract. The deal includes a guaranteed £66.3m, with the rest in add-ons, BBC reported.

Sesko, 22, joins as United’s third major attacking signing this summer, following Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. The Slovenia international chose United over Newcastle United, who finished fifth in the Premier League last season and qualified for the Champions League.

Reflecting on his move, Sesko expressed excitement about United’s future and the club’s positive environment, emphasizing his ambition to grow and compete for major trophies under manager Ruben Amorim, according to BBC.
