Manchester United will give fans their first glimpse of Benjamin Sesko<\/a> ahead of their clash with Fiorentina. The Red Devils are close to sealing a deal for the RB Leipzig striker.<\/p>\n United have agreed a \u00a374m fee with the German side,<\/a> while Sesko has flown to Manchester and begun undergoing a medical<\/a> with his new club. At the time of writing, United are yet to confirm Sesko\u2019s switch to Old Trafford – but an announcement is not far off. It’s expected the 22-year-old will officially be unveiled in front of fans ahead of the club\u2019s pre-season friendly against Fiorentina.<\/p>\n United welcome the Serie A side to Old Trafford on Saturday for their final preparation game on Saturday. It comes with Sesko’s decision to pick United over Newcastle having been explained perfectly.<\/a><\/p>\n Once Sesko is officially confirmed as Red Devil, he will then turn his attention to a potential debut for the club. Ruben Amorim<\/a>\u2019s side take on Arsenal<\/a> at Old Trafford in their opening game of the Premier League<\/a> season.<\/p>\n Club legend Paul Scholes has already shared his thoughts on Sesko\u2019s arrival and suggested that he needs to hit the ground running. Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, he said: “From the point of Sesko… he’ll have more chance at Newcastle<\/a> to develop which he needs.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Transfer news LIVE: Sesko undergoes Man Utd medical, Chelsea star asks to leave, Isak and Eze latest<\/a>READ MORE: Man Utd ‘Bomb Squad’ member reacts to transfer as Red Devils’ team-mate shows support<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cNow to be a Manchester United<\/a> centre-forward, as we’ve found with Hojlund, a 22-year-old kid, you’ve got to be ready. It’s got to be now.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Hojlund just isn’t quite good enough for that as we’ve seen. But again, he’s not had a chance to be developed – going to Newcastle might have been the best thing for him, for two or three years.”<\/p>\n Sesko\u2019s arrival could potentially open the door to another major deal. Rival forward Rasmus Hojlund could potentially leave<\/a>, with AC Milan<\/a> keen to sign him on loan.<\/p>\n How many goals will Benjamin Sesko score for Man United this season? Share your thoughts in the comments below<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Reports in Italy have claimed that chiefs from the Italian side will fly to the UK to hold talks with their Red Devils colleagues. But Hojlund\u2019s stance could put a deal in jeopardy, having expressed his desire to stay at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n He said: “I think my plan is very clear and that is for me to stay and fight for my spot, whatever happens. I’m still very young. I think people forget that sometimes. I’m only 22. Obviously, not every striker is scoring 100 goals at the age of 22 (like Erling Haaland<\/a>).<\/p>\n “But I’ve learned a lot, I think you can see in my game. I’m starting to develop and become even better in the basics. Now it’s just about for me to sharpen myself and I’ve done very well in the pre-season so far. Just focusing on continuing that.<\/p>\n “Competition is fine with me. It sharpens me. I’m more than ready. I’m feeling sharp, so I’m welcoming everything that comes. I think it’s good with competition and it only sharpens the team.”<\/p>\n Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.
