United were believed to have matched a bid made by Newcastle for the striker, which was also accepted.
The Magpies bid would have seen Leipzig take in £71.5m up front with an additional £2.1m in performance-related bonuses.
But Sesko has decided he wants the Red Devils and is set to finalise his switch to Old Trafford in the coming days.
The German side have now given Sesko permission to travel to complete the transfer.
Sesko, 22, will complete United’s new look attack following the arrivlas of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
The Slovenia international has scored 39 goals in 87 games for RB Leipzig, including 21 last season.
