Sesko tried to avoid the cameras as he flew to Manchester to complete a medical , before the £74m deal was officially finalised.
Information from many reputable sources confirmed that the 22-year-old striker agreed to give up part of his salary to move to Old Trafford, even though Newcastle offered a higher salary.
In fact, Sesko has been on the Red Devils' radar for the past six years, but now he is ready to arrive at the "theater of dreams", with experience playing in the Bundesliga, Champions League and Euro 2024.
MU agreed an initial deal worth £66.4m in installments, plus £7.4m in add-ons.
Newcastle made a more attractive offer to RB Leipzig, but the player only wanted to join MU, helping to quickly resolve the transfer deal.
Sky Germany said that the "Magpies" made a huge offer not only for the Bundesliga team but also for Sesko, who was offered a better salary. However, he passed on the offer to move to Old Trafford.
The source confirmed that Benjamin Sesko agreed to take a partial pay cut at United to help the deal succeed soon.
The exact salary has not been announced, but Slovenian newspapers confirmed that Sesko will earn £160,000 a week. The figure will automatically increase by 25% to £200,000 a week if MU qualify for the Champions League.
Sesko's agency - headed by Elvis Basanovic - decided to waive part of the commission in the deal to complete the sale.
United's deal with RB Leipzig also includes a future friendly between the two clubs at the Red Bull Arena.
