Newcastle United were also very interested in signing him, but the player wanted to join Manchester United, and it proved crucial to seal the deal.
Sesko scored 39 goals in 87 appearances for Leipzig. He's known as a big, strong, and extremely quick attacker who is lethal both on and off the ground, similar to Erling Haaland.
He was one of the fastest strikers in the Bundesliga at 35.7km/h - and had the best aerial success rate of strikers involved in at least 60 of them.
