MANCHESTER United have launched a £74 million bid for Benjamin Sesko, according to reports in Germany.
The Red Devils are competing with Newcastle to sign the highly-rated RB Leipzig striker.
Newcastle had a club-record £70m bid knocked back on Saturday, before returning last night with an improved offer worth an initial £69.5m, with a further £4.5m in add-ons.
According to Bild, Man Utd have now tabled a £65m bid for Sesko, with a further £9m in add-ons.
RB Leipzig are said to still be mulling over both offers, with a bidding war in their interests.
Sesko is claimed by the German outlet to be undecided on which move he would rather make.
The 22-year-old is training away from his team-mates amid transfer speculation.
While RB Leipzig are happy to prompt a bidding war, club chiefs want a resolution to the situation in the near future in order to give them time to replace their front man.
According to The Athletic, Man Utd reckon that Sesko would prefer a move to Old Trafford over Newcastle.
But the Toon remain determined to land their top target. — The Sun
