Manchester United signed Slovenia forward Benjamin Sesko on Saturday in an attempt to bounce back from its worst season in the Premier League era.

United paid Leipzig a fee that could reach 85 million euros ($99 million) (approx Rs 867 crore) for the 22-year-old Sesko, who signed a five-year contract.

Sesko is the third forward United have signed this offseason after a lack of goals last term saw the 20-time English champion record its lowest finish in the modern era when it placed 15th, just three places above the relegation zone.
