United are battling Newcastle for Sesko, who is valued at £70million by RB Leipzig.

The German club would consider selling and are believed to be interested in Hojlund, with a potential swap deal on offer.

But the striker has privately informed the club that he wants to stay and fight for his place, according to Ben Jacobs.

And it is believed he is not keen on a switch to RB Leipzig, which puts Sesko’s arrival at threat.

As a result, some United fans are not happy with Hojlund and fear they could miss out on Sesko.

One said: “So he’s gonna be the reason we don’t get Sesko, don’t hate the guy but come on, he’s not good enough and now just sabotaging us even more tbh.”

Another added: “If this prevents us potentially getting Sesko.”

A third wrote: “This guy thinks he has a chance of staying if Sesko chooses to come to Manchester United? ”

Newcastle have reportedly met Sesko’s asking price but the Red Devils are not out of the race.

More negotiations are scheduled with both clubs and United are “ready to make their move”.

Sesko, 22, has a gentleman’s agreement with RB Leipzig that he can leave if they receive a good enough offer.

And with talks ongoing, Sesko was left out of their pre-season friendly against Atalanta today.

RB Leipzig chief Marcel Schafer was asked about the player’s future and he said: “We won’t go into detail on that, but when I say that several clubs have shown strong interest and have made approaches, it’s obvious what has happened.”
