Man Utd could miss out on Benjamin Sesko as Newcastle push hard. Thus, the Red Devils have now been "offered" a chance to sign an alternative.

Man Utd have made a bid worth just under £74m to RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko; Newcastles second bid was higher - an initial offer of just under £70m plus add-ons; Sesko has been open to both projects - but one source has told Sky Sports News he is leaning towards Man Utd.

The Magpies submitted their second official offer to the Bundesliga club on Monday evening in an attempt to steal a march on their rivals for the Slovenia international’s signature. Widespread reports suggest Newcastle’s improved bid is worth €80m, plus a further €10m in potential add-ons.
