The Slovenian striker is about to sign Reuben Amorim’s team, and the capture of the 22-year-old Sesco is a clear indication that the club is still having a great pull as they try to regain Premier League glory.
Andy Dunn is Mirror’s main sports writer.
There may be many reasons why Benjamin Sesco plays for Manchester United than Newcastle United. Clearly money could be one of them.
Perhaps he would rather live in Manchester – or more likely than South Cheshire-Tyneside. Maybe he’s not overly fussing about Champions League football or European football.
After all, despite not receiving Newcastle’s higher offer, his wages are still astronomical, but his workload is less astronomical. But the most likely reason is that Manchester United will remain Manchester United for all of its difficulties on and off the pitch.
It is still a club giant and still a global phenomenon. It still attracts 72,000 people through the gate and if there is a room it can attract twice that amount.
And anyone who plays a key role in bringing United back to the top of the Premier League is fett like most other people in the game. If Reuben Amorim is the manager who will perform the task, then the ju apprentice has not yet been released.

He talked about good games in the preseason, but the creation of his six-person leadership group seems a bit strange. With evidence from last season, he has done well to find six leaders for that team.
But that’s a team that gets considerably improved by the arrival of Matthews Cuña, Brian Mbeumo, and when it becomes a rubber stamp, Sesco’s arrival. At first, there appears to be a natural balance of attack between these three, but there should also be mutual hunger.
It may sound more than touch idealism, but United’s new signature – and while there may be more to the end of the window or the start of the Premier League season, it has more plays than a very heavy wage packet. Of course, there’s a huge gap in the Bridge if United could compete in meaningful seasonal battles with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and more.
However, he played decently in the American Summer Series, but a full preseason is important to Amorim’s mission. One of the fundamental flaws of the United team over the past few years has been very basic.
They simply don’t fit well. And they certainly were not suited enough to achieve the job rates that Amorim’s preferred system demands.
Therefore, Amorim ensured that the individual training regimes given to all players during the break were as detailed as possible. The numbers from my personal fitness tests are that I have impressed the sports science staff.
Expect to see more fitters, lean United as they progressed through the Premier League season in a blockbuster game against Arsenal at Old Trafford. And when he arrives at workout next week, Sesco is certainly healthy and lean.
This is a player who is quick, powerful, targeted and excellent in the air. He’s not a savior of sorts, but the fact that he wants to be in Old Trafford still tells a lot about the club.
