Sesko has now received permission to travel to Manchester and sign a five -year contract in Old Trafford.
Newcastle was confident that they would achieve its own agreement for the Slovenian after submitting an £ 70 million plus add-on offer.
However, Eddie Howe missed another transfer goal after Sesko clarified that he wanted to join United.
The recruitment director of the Red Devils, Christopher Vivell, is said to have played a major role in creating a deal.
United refused to be admitted to a bidding war with Newcastle, and it managed to secure the signing with her first offer.
They entertained a strong relationship with Leipzig throughout the negotiations for Sesko, with a package of 74 million GBP now agreed.
Around 66 million GBP are paid in advance, with 5 million GBP of the add-ons that are involved in the deal are expected to be easily reached.
It means that Leipzig received a little more than 70 million GBP from The Move, which almost corresponds to Newcastles fixed fee.
Sesko becomes a Big money signing of the summer by MAN United, after signing Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha to Old Trafford to Old Trafford.
Your summer editions have now reached more than £ 200 million.

Sesko statistics
The 22-year-old front man changes to Man United as one of the most rated young people in world football.
He came from RB Salzburg to Leipzig in 2022 and has spent the Bundesliga page in the past three years.
In total, he scored 39 goals in 87 appearances in all competitions for the club, including 27 in the German leader.
Unfortunately, his 13 goals in the league could not help Leipzig to secure a place in European football last season.
Sesko achieved four goals in eight appearances in eight appearances last season in eight appearances, but will not play in Europe now.
If he had been to Newcastle, he would have played in Uefas Top -Tier, but he decided to sign United instead.

What does that mean for Rasmus Hojlund?
With Sesko, Ruben Amorim now has many attacks in his squad for the season.
He signed Mbumo and Cunha, who can play behind the striker together with Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount.
He also has Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee to lead the line, which means that you may have to leave.
And it seems that Hojlund could be the player with whom United is ready to let him go for £ 30 million.
This is less than half of what they paid for the Dane in 2023 when he arrived from Atalanta for £ 72 million.
However, Hojlund does not want to leave Old Trafford and Amorim has to juggle three No. 9 when things are.
