Man Utd were 'hours' away from losing transfer target to Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp chat<\/h3>\n

Benjamin Sesko has revealed why he opted for a move to RB Leipzig amid interest from Manchester United in 2022. United were reportedly interested in Sesko as Erik ten Hag pursued a young striker in his first summer transfer window at Old Trafford but missed out on his signature.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old Slovenian caught the eye at Austrian giants RB Salzburg after breaking through as a teenager during the 2021\/22 season.<\/p>\n

It drove up heavyweight interest in his services, but Leipzig won the race, agreeing to sign him on a five-year contract 12 months in advance.<\/p>\n

Sesko’s goalscoring exploits improved in his final season at Salzburg, completing his switch to Leipzig this summer after registering 29 goals and 11 assists in 79 appearances.<\/p>\n

He has netted three times in his first six outings for the Bundesliga outfit this term, while United splashed \u00a372million to sign fellow youngster Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta.<\/p>\n

Sesko has addressed his Old Trafford snub last year, claiming he believed Leipzig was the best place to continue his career due to the club’s similar playstyle to Salzburg.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The thing is, I wasn’t really involved in these kinds of conversations. But I think it was better to come here,” Sesko told Transfermarkt.<\/p>\n

“It was very important for me to go to a place that plays a similar style of football. I already knew what I had to do and didn’t have to go through a whole learning process again.”<\/p>\n

Sesko has already represented Slovenia 22 times, scoring seven goals, and hopes to spearhead Leipzig to a successful campaign in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.<\/p>\n

He found the net in the club’s Champions League Group G opener at BSC Young Boys, a 3-1 win, with games against holders Manchester City and Red Star Belgrade to come.<\/p>\n

In the Bundesliga, Leipzig sit fourth after five games, level on 12 points with VfB Stuttgart and Hoffenheim, having won four and lost one.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich sit atop the table with 13 points, and Sesko is confident Leipzig can challenge for a first-ever Bundesliga crown.<\/p>\n

He added: “Everything is on us. We have to perform. We have to show that we can win the games. It’s obviously a lot of games.<\/p>\n

“We just have to be 100 per cent or even more every single game because the games are every third or fourth day. But as I said, we have a really good team. I think we have a big chance this year.”<\/p>\n
