Manchester United join the race for £55m-rated Red Bull Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko... with Newcastle, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund also admirers of the Slovenia international

Manchester United have joined the clubs monitoring Red Bull Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko but the Austrian club do not wish to sell for less than £55million this summer.

Newcastle United, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are all confirmed admirers of the talented 19-year old.

Salzburg want to keep Sesko for the season, which he has already started well with two goals in two games, unless they receive an offer close to their valuation.

Sesko's agent teased supporters with an Instagram post of himself dining out near the Tyne Bridge last week, which prompted a flurry of activity on social media but Newcastle dampened the excitement saying that while Sesko was a player they admired nothing had progressed regarding a move.
