Manchester United finished the signature of striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for 74 million pounds sterling.
The 22 -year -old signed a five -year contract at Old Trafford after choosing the Red Devils rather than Newcastle, who also continued the International Slovenia.
Sesko said: “The story of Manchester United is obviously very special, but what really excites me is the future.
“When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything was in place so that this team continues to grow and compete again for the biggest trophies.
“From the moment I arrived, I could feel the positive energy and the family environment that the club created. This is clearly the ideal place to reach my maximum level and fill all my ambitions.
“I can’t wait to start learning from Ruben and connect with my teammates to succeed in the success we all know that we are able together.”
Sesko is the third major signature of the summer after the arrivals of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, with the three sets to form a new attack under Ruben Amorim next season.
He scored 22 goals and recorded six assists for the Bundesliga team last season. In the past two seasons, no player under 23 has not scored goals in the best five leagues in Europe.
Newcastle would have offered higher transfer fees for the very classified attacker, but he crossed his desire to join the Red Devils, who finished 15th in the Premier League last season.
The Magpies misfortunes in the transfer window continue as they try to find a replacement for Alexander Isak with the attacker who trains away from the club while looking for a move to Liverpool.
Football director Jason Wilcox said: “Benjamin has a rare combination of electrifying rhythm and the ability to physically dominate defenders, which makes him one of the most exceptional young talents in world football.
“We have closely followed Benjamin’s career; All our analysis and our data research concluded that he had the qualities and personality required to thrive at Manchester United.
“Working under the direction of Ruben and our excellent performance team, Benjamin joins the perfect environment to support him to reach his world class potential.
“The desire that all our new signatures have shown that the club join us this summer highlights the attraction and stature of Manchester United, while we continue to build and develop a team capable of challenging for the greatest honors.”
