Manchester United and Newcastle have both made significant progress in their respective pursuits of Benjamin Šeško, but the sought-after striker is expected to be on his way to Old Trafford after a tumultuous summer.
Newcastle have been more proactive in their approach of the 22-year-old centre forward this summer. Once it became clear that Alexander Isak had his mind set on joining Liverpool, the Magpies shifted their focus towards securing his replacement. Eddie Howe’s side, whose misfiring recruitment department has been led by the manager’s nephew Andy this summer, reportedly tabled two formal offers before United belatedly submitted their first proposal.
