Manchester United have reportedly made their first offer for Benjamin Sesko as they look to beat Newcastle to the signing of the RB Leipzig striker.
According to The Athletic, the bid is worth £65million up front plus £8.6m in add-ons - but Leipzig are not yet thought to have responded to the proposal.
The development sets up an intriguing two-way fight between Premier League rivals United and Newcastle, both of whom were reportedly told that Sesko is keen to join them. As of Monday night, the Magpies were pushing hard to wrap up the deal.
