Manchester United are on the verge of completing the transfer of Benjamin Sesko this week as full agreement has been reached.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The attacking transformation at Manchester United<\/a> is done, with Benjamin Sesko<\/a> becoming the cherry on top of an already very exciting cake.<\/p>\n

Having signed Premier League proven duo Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha<\/a> already this summer, the striker remained a desire by Ruben Amorim and the transfer decision makers.<\/p>\n

Quite quickly, United turned attentions completely toward Sesko, rivalling Newcastle for his signature, however, it was not much of a competition in the end.<\/p>\n

Sesko chose United earlier this week<\/a>, which made the deal feel like a formality with United and RB Leipzig working out the finer details of the transfer.<\/p>\n

Now the move is very close to completion and he\u2019s been spotted en-route.<\/p>\n

On Thursday afternoon, it emerged that United had agreed a deal to sign Sesko from Leipzig<\/a> this summer, with a fee of \u00a366.3m plus \u00a37.3m being agreed between the two sides.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old is clearly excited to be joining United as he has immediately flown to Manchester instead of waiting until tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Now, Fabrizio Romano has shared an image of Sesko and his agent Elvis Basanovic on the private jet, flying to Manchester Airport, before he then will complete the transfer.<\/p>\n

Sesko can be seen with a big smile on his face as his dream transfer is now mere hours from completion.<\/p>\n

Romano also adds that Sesko will sign his contract on Friday, before being announced in front of Old Trafford on Saturday against Fiorentina.<\/p>\n

The \u00a366m is cheaper than expected, with Sesko also taking a lower wage than he had been offered elsewhere, which is testament to his desire to join the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

Now, as Sesko is on his way to Manchester ahead of a medical and contract signing on Friday, more details of the deal have emerged.<\/p>\n

It comes according to Florian Plettenberg, that in the deal to sign Sesko, United have also agreed to play against Leipzig in the future.<\/p>\n

This will see a future friendly fixture between United and Leipzig arranged, to be hosted at the Red Bull Arena, with the Energy drink named side taking the earnings from the fixture which could generate between \u00a31.3m and \u00a31.7m.<\/p>\n

This is an excellent deal for all parties and United could benefit from a relationship with Leipzig given all the talent they have.<\/p>\n
