Benjamin Sesko has taken to social media amid increased speculation around a potential summer move to Manchester United.

‌

The Manchester Evening News understands that Ruben Amorim's side are advancing in a deal to bring the RB Leipzig forward to Old Trafford. It's thought that United have received encouragement to pursue Sesko and have made contact with the Bundesliga side about a possible transfer.

‌

Newcastle United also want Sesko, with Alexander Isak's long-term future in doubt.

‌

Sesko signed a five-year contract at Leipzig last summer, and his new deal came with the understanding that if an elite club - by his definition - offered in the region of £69million to £78m, the German club would allow him to leave.

He scored 21 times and added six assists in 45 appearances for Die Rotten Bullen last season.

While talk has increased about a move to United for Sesko, he has taken to social media to upload a new update.

On his Instagram story, Sesko simply shared Leipzig's training camp dump, with the message on the original post saying: "Best of training camp."

The striker featured once in Leipzig's post as Ole Werner's side continue their preparations for the 2025/26 campaign.

United may not be able to offer Champions League football next season, but that doesn't put Sesko off from making the summer move.

‌

Amorim's side finished 15th in the Premier League last season. They had a chance to qualify for Europe's elite club competition through the Europa League but lost in the final against Tottenham.

Speaking on Fabrizio Romano's latest YouTube video on Thursday, he said: "Benjamin Sesko is really open to joining Manchester United, even without European football, even without Champions League football.

"Now the conversation between United and Sesko is entering into the details of the project and the vision of what they want to do. Not only financial details, United are talking to RB Leipzig and to the agent, but also the project.

‌

"United are entering into the details of the vision they have for Sesko, and the player is open to the move. Sesko is also talking to Newcastle, because they are prepared to pay whatever is needed. The price tag from Leipzig, Newcastle are ready to pay, the salary wanted by Sesko, Newcastle are ready to pay.

"So if Sesko decides to go to Newcastle, it would be ready to go. But Sesko is also considering Man United. He is not deciding today (Thursday), he's not deciding tomorrow (Friday), it's going to take some days. Not too long, but some days for Sesko to decide.

"Man United feel that the player is open to having this conversation to discuss about the project and the vision. So, Sesko and Man United is something that is absolutely concrete."
