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."
