United are said to have made “informal contact” with RB Leipzig regarding a move for their 22-year-old striker. The Red Devils were previously thought to be unconvinced by Šeško who still needed “significant development” and did not justify Leipzig’s demands of over €75 million (£65.2 million, $88.2 million).

Manchester United has identified RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko as their primary striker target for the summer transfer window.

Manchester United believe a deal for Watkins could be done for £40m to £45m, while Sesko is likely to be around £69m to £78m
