Manchester United have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko after a rival bid for the striker was reportedly knocked back.

The biggest talking point of the summer continues to be Alexander Isak, with his United future still up in the air as his team-mates continue their Far East jaunt. The Swede has missed the club's Asia jaunt as Liverpool linger over a potential swoop his for signature.

It's clear that Manchester United want a new striker this summer, but exactly which player they sign remains to be seen. All the signs, though, indicate RB Leipzig star, Benjamin Sesko, is the player identified by United to strengthen the forward line before the September 1 deadline.
