Manchester United are increasingly convinced that Benjamin Šeško is determined to join the club, with confidence growing stronger on Tuesday night. United have already sent the RB Leipzig striker an official contract proposal and remain in active talks with the Bundesliga side over a potential deal.

Sources close to the negotiations say United believe they are the Slovenia international’s preferred destination despite interest from other top European clubs. The Premier League side is now focused on reaching an agreement with Leipzig to finalise the transfer.

Šeško, 21, has been one of Europe’s most sought-after young forwards, impressing with his pace, aerial threat and clinical finishing in Germany. United see him as a long-term attacking solution as part of their ongoing squad rebuild under Erik ten Hag.
