RB LEIPZIG striker Benjamin Sesko has revealed why he decided against joining Manchester United.
Sesko, 20, has been on United's radar since 2019.
The Red Devils had the opportunity to sign him for just £3million four years ago, but club chiefs were reluctant to match NK Domzale's asking price.
Instead, Sesko chose to join RB Salzburg, where he scored 29 goals and provided 11 assists in 79 appearances.
The striker struck a deal with RB Leipzig last summer, despite receiving further interest from Man Utd.
And he has since revealed the reason why he snubbed the Red Devils with comments fans may view as a swipe at the club.

Speaking to Transfermarkt, Sesko said: "The thing is, I wasn't really involved in these kinds of conversations. But I think it was better to come here.
"It was very important for me to go to a place that plays a similar style of football.
"I already knew what I had to do and didn’t have to go through a whole learning process again."
Although he rejected a move to Man Utd last summer, Sesko – who has been likened to Manchester City star Erling Haaland – has not ruled out a move to the Premier League in future.
