Fabrizio Romano has revealed the six-word message Benjamin Sesko told his agent after RB Leipzig reached an agreement with Manchester United over his transfer.
Manchester United made a strong start to the summer transfer window by securing Matheus Cunha from Wolves on day one, followed by the arrival of promising young defender Diego Leon.
After protracted talks, the club also managed to land Bryan Mbeumo, with all three new signings currently part of Ruben Amorim’s squad on their U.S. tour.
Now, an agreement has been reached to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, a deal that will complete United’s revamped attacking lineup ahead of the new season.
The Reds will sign Sesko for an initial £66 million and the striker is expected to be unveiled at Old Trafford before the game against Fiorentina on Saturday afternoon.
Romano reveals six-word message Sesko told his agent
Sesko decided to join United over Newcastle this summer, and reports have stated that the 22-year-old is accepting a lower wage at Old Trafford.
The player is also desperate to get to his new club as soon as possible, with Fabrizio Romano revealing that he told his agent that he wants to leave for his medical immediately.
“Tonight he will travel, the agent and player, to Manchester,” the Italian journalist revealed on his YouTube channel on Thursday evening.
“Sesko doesn’t want to wait one single minute, there was the possibility to go in the morning on Friday. ‘No, I want to go immediately’, this is what Sesko told his agent and Manchester United.”
United fans will be delighted with that news and will be eager to see Sesko at Old Trafford on the weekend, even if he won’t be playing in the game.
United signings desperate to play for the club
United’s three main signings this window have all pushed for moves to the club over Champions League clubs and that is a good sign for the club.
Amorim has made it clear that he wants to ensure that United are bringing in the right personalities and that seems to be happening.
Every signing is desperate to come to the club and that is something that hasn’t always been the case since Sir Alex Ferguson departed.
It does sound like an extremely simple thing but it is refreshing to know that these players are so keen to play for the club and try to help with the rebuild under Amorim.
