RB SALZBURG are demanding £55million for Manchester United target Benjamin Sesko, according to reports.
The Red Devils are hoping to bolster their forward line this month amid doubts surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo's future.
Salzburg's 6ft 4in striker has caught their eye, but the Austrian side are demanding more than United are willing to pay.

Sesko, 19, could instead be sold in 2023.
