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.

Benjamin Sesko has decided to reject Manchester United and join Newcastle United this summer, according to a report in Slovenia. The RB Leipzig striker is at the centre of a two-way transfer battle between United and Newcastle.
