Sesko has been reported to be prioritizing a move to United, even without European football, but the Red Devils are struggling to meet his asking price.

United's delegation was in Germany this week to learn the finer detailsof the deal but have not submitted an offer yet with Newcastle's bid meeting RB Leipzig's valuation.

It remains to be seen how both Leipzig and the player will react to the development as well as what United will do.

Atalanta, meanwhile, have left Ademola Lookman, a target for Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid, out of their squad.
