It emerged on Monday that Newcastle, having already seen one offer turned down, returned to Leipzig with a second bid worth an initial €80 million (£69.7 million, $92.6 million), plus a further €10 million (£8.7 million, $11.6 million) in add-ons, as they seek to beat the Red Devils to his signature.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are confident of beating Newcastle to the signing of Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.

Manchester United will be signing an excellent player in Benjamin Sesko if they agree a deal, but there's still one glaring problem his transfer wouldn't fix for Ruben Amorim.
