Although not yet officially moved, the rumors of Benjamin Sesko to Man United could damage Newcastle United's plans. Reportedly, Man United are closer to the Leipzig striker. He is expected to be like Haaland because of his posture even though statistically with Leipzig is very much different.

Newcastle United really want him in the new season. Newcastle seems to be feeling the rigors of competition for players. Newcastle is actually a rich club, but they don't make many big transfers and compete for players. They have felt out of competition with other teams and maybe this could happen to Benjamin Sesko.

I can't read what's in the link you posted, but reading this articles:

It seems to me that Sesko prefers to choose Manchester United even knowing that it is a team that will not compete in European competitions next season, even knowing that Manchester United is a team under construction, even knowing that Manchester United is a team that is offering a smaller amount to buy him compared to Newcastle, but even so he is choosing Manchester United

In my opinion, he wants Manchester United because he saw the great achievements of the Sporting coach, and if he goes to Manchester United and can help the team win titles, this will add many points to his career. Meanwhile, Newcastle doesn't have great ambitions like winning the Premier League; at most, they're looking at positions that lead to the European Champions League. I honestly agree with him for choosing Manchester United, because after seeing the case of Alexander Isak, it raises a red flag for players who want to go to Newcastle.

I still don't understand Manchester United in this transfer window, first the media claimed the club was broke but they're landing their major targets even without participating in any European competition, if Manchester United signs Sesko then the amount of money they would've spend after that transfer would be almost £210 this season, yet people still say they're broke nor affect by the FFP rules? I don't think so.

Well it's not about participating in the Champions League, Sesko know that Manchester United is one of the biggest club in the world with very good history, who won't love to go their, coupled with the upgrade in salary he'll get if he does well in about 2 season something Newcastle won't do, more looking at the project with Amorim there's hope that Manchester United would bounce back with time, I don't know how soon even but there's signs. Sesko made a good choice though.
