Manchester United have had a busy few days on the transfer front and look set to be handed another boost.<\/p>\n
United recently completed the signing of Benjamin Sesko<\/a> on a permanent deal from RB Leipzig. The Reds beat Newcastle to the Slovenia international’s signature, with Arsenal also interested in a deal earlier in the summer.<\/p>\n Sesko has joined Matheus Cunha<\/a> and Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> in completing a move to United this summer. That trio were unveiled as new United signings to the Old Trafford<\/a> crowd ahead of their pre-season friendly against Fiorentina at the weekend.<\/p>\n Ruben Amorim <\/a>could look to start Sesko as the first-choice centre forward for United for the season ahead. For United, they appear to have already been handed a financial boost after signing Sesko.<\/p>\n The CIES Football Observatory have compiled the market value for many of the world’s best and most promising footballers. Sesko is included among the most valuable players in the world, with a valuation of up to \u20ac124million (\u00a3107million).<\/p>\n This is already significantly more than United have agreed to pay Leipzig in the deal for Sesko. United will pay an initial fee worth \u20ac76.5million (\u00a366.2million) plus a further \u20ac8.5million (\u00a37.4million) in add-ons.<\/p>\n This means United will, in total, pay no more than approximately \u00a374million. As a result, that is roughly \u00a333million lower than what Sesko’s market value currently is, with the potential for a significant increase if the striker meets his potential while at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n Sesko could make his debut for United on Sunday afternoon when they take on Arsenal in their Premier League<\/a> opener. It remains to be seen if United will make any more signings before the start of the season.<\/p>\n Our team of Manchester United experts are on top of all the goings-on at Old Trafford for this week and beyond, and you can get the latest team news, injury updates, reaction and analysis along with inside information to your phone by joining our new free WhatsApp community<\/a>.
