Manchester United could revive their interest in Benjamin Sesko.

The promising RB Salzburg striker, who was linked with a move to Manchester United during the summer, has already settled on a pre-agreed contract with RB Leipzig.

Leipzig confirmed the signing of Sesko, though the 19-year-old will have to wait until next summer to move to Germany at the start of next season. The Slovenia international will spend this campaign with Salzburg before moving on.

According to 90min, that won’t stop interested clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich from trying get their man from under Leipzig’s nose.

It is suggested that the Bundesliga outfit are considering ‘flipping’ Sesko for three times the price they agreed to pay.

That means Leipzig would be open to selling Sesko for €60m which could see them make a significant profit on a player who has yet to play for their club.

Erik ten Hag will be in the market for a new centre-forward next summer because it looks like Cristiano Ronaldo’s days are numbered.

Sesko has already scored five goals for Salzburg this season.
