Manchester United are pushing ahead with plans to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko this summer, with reports suggesting the club has already booked a medical for the Slovenian international.
The 21-year-old has emerged as one of Europe's most sought-after young forwards following an impressive season in the Bundesliga, where he netted 14 league goals. His performances have put several top clubs on alert, but United appear to be leading the chase.

According to sources, the Red Devils have taken the significant step of arranging medical tests for Sesko, indicating serious intent to finalise the deal. This proactive approach suggests United are keen to avoid last-minute competition from rival suitors.
Why Sesko Fits Ten Hag's Vision
Standing at 6'4", Sesko offers the physical presence United have lacked up front while also boasting impressive technical ability. His combination of aerial dominance and intelligent movement makes him an ideal candidate to lead Erik ten Hag's attack.
The young striker's €65 million release clause represents significant value in today's inflated market, particularly for a player with such high potential. United's recruitment team believe he could develop into a world-class centre-forward under Ten Hag's guidance.
Premier League Rivals Circle
While United appear to be in pole position, several Premier League rivals including Arsenal and Chelsea have previously shown interest. Sesko's representatives are understood to be weighing up multiple offers, though the player is reportedly attracted by United's project.
The coming weeks will prove crucial as United look to secure their primary attacking target ahead of what promises to be a busy summer transfer window at Old Trafford.
