There is understood to be a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ between Sesko and RB Leipzig that would allow him to leave for a fee of £60 million in the summer.
The club are said to be having second thoughts, however, and are now demanding a fee of £86m, which would be a club record sale.
Man United will face competition from several Premier League rivals to sign Sesko, with Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool all said to be interested.
Sesko is one of the highest-rated young stikers in Europe, scoring 19 goals and providing six assists in his 40 games across all competitions.
