Alan Shearer has described Newcastle United's summer as a 'nightmare' after the club missed out on top striker target Benjamin Sesko – with the Slovenian poised to join Manchester United even though the Magpies offered a higher transfer fee and the chance to play Champions League football.
Although Sesko has not officially joined the Red Devils, Mail Sport understands that the 22-year-old is leaning heavily towards a move to Old Trafford. Man United's offer to RB Leipzig — reported to be just under £74million — is slightly lower than Newcastle's improved bid of £78.
