The agent of Manchester United striker Benjamin Šeško had insisted his desire to move to Old Trafford this summer played a part in failed approaches from both Arsenal and Newcastle United this summer.
Šeško entered the summer transfer window as a key target for a number of top sides but, despite early interest from Arsenal, was made to wait until August to seal a switch to United, who fought off a rival approach from Newcastle to strike a deal worth an initial €76.5 million (£65.9 million, $89.2 million) with a further €8.5 million in add-ons.
