Man Utd set to unveil Benjamin Sesko as new signing at Old Trafford before Fiorentina friendly after striker completes medical

Fabrizio Romano has reported Sesko is set to complete his medical and will be presented to fans before Saturday’s friendly against Fiorentina at Old Trafford. United agreed a £66.3m deal with RB Leipzig, with potential add-ons bringing the fee close to £74m. Newcastle also bid for Sesko but failed to convince him.

Sesko is Amorim’s fourth signing of the window after Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon. The 22-year-old brings a proven scoring pedigree, with more goals than any under-23 player in Europe’s top five leagues over the past two seasons. United see him as a long-term solution up front.

The Slovenian star arrives with high expectations at United after the Red Devils' horror campaign under Amorim last season. Sesko's arrival likely also spells the end of Rasmus Hojlund's stint as the primary No. 9 at Old Trafford.

Sesko will begin training with the squad next week as he settles into life in Manchester. Amorim will assess how quickly he can integrate the striker into his system. With the new season approaching, United fans hope Sesko can hit the ground running.
