Benjamin Sesko facing Man Utd or Newcastle decision dilemma with Amorim willing to flog Hojlund to make room for him

BENJAMIN SESKO could choose his Premier League dream team after Manchester United rivalled Newcastle with a £74million offer.

Toon are also working on a deal for RB Leipzig striker Sesko, 22, after lodging a similar bid earlier this week but United have now made their move.

The Red Devils offered an initial £65m plus around £8.9m in performance-related add-ons.

The Slovenia striker will train away from his team-mates on Wednesday morning in Germany as both Prem clubs fight for his signature.

Leipzig hope that a bidding war cranks up over the next few days to drive up the price.

If both offers remain the same, Sesko could be able to pick between which club he wants to join after telling BOTH he is open to a move.

Despite Newcastle playing in the Champions League this season, United will still fancy their chances of landing one of Europe’s hottest young prospects.

United are desperate for a new striker after failing in their attempt to sign Viktor Gyokeres, who joined Arsenal in a £63.5m deal.

United boss Ruben Amorim is also willing to let Rasmus Hojlund leave the club in order to make space for Sesko, even if United only receive a £30m transfer fee.

Newcastle are keen to sign Sesko, knowing they could lose Alexander Isak to Liverpool.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils have rejected FIVE different approaches to sell Harry Maguire this transfer window.

United have turned down three Prem clubs and two bids from Italy for the England defender.

Maguire’s deal ends this season, meaning he can sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club from January.

But he is ready to give United everything despite his contract situation.

Maguire, 32, who has won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup since signing from Leicester in an £85m deal in 2019, said: “I just want to be part of a successful team this season.

“Last season was a tough season for everyone individually — but also as a team, as a squad, and as a club.

“This season, there are no excuses.

“We’re going to have a lot of time to prepare for the Premier League games — and we’ve got to make sure we’re ready.

“For myself, it’s making sure I’m available, I’m fit, I’m ready to go, and give everything I can to this team and this club.”
