Official: Šeško completes move to Man Utd
RB Leipzig confirmed the transfer of Benjamin Šeško to Manchester United as the Slovenian International joined the Premier League side for €76.5 million. The clubs also agreed upon an easily achievable €8.5 million bonus payment, which will take the transfer fee to €85 million. Newcastle United were the first to send an official bid, but the player was keen to join the 20-time league winners. He'll make his first Old Trafford appearance when the club host Fiorentina in a friendly today. Šeško scored 39 goals and assisted 8 in 87 matches for Leipzig in all competitions. Josko Gvardiol's move to the other Manchester club, Man City, is still the most expensive transfer involving Leipzig.

Manchester United set to rival Arsenal for Paris Saint-Germain winger
Manchester United are looking to strike a deadly blow to Arsenal in the transfer market ahead of the season opener between the two bitter rivals at Old Trafford this Sunday. Focus on attack The Red Devils have prioritised an overhaul of Ruben Amorim's misfiring forward line after the club's worst campaign in the Premier League era last season. United scored a paltry 44 league goals with only three sides scoring less – Everton and three relegated sides, Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton. No player in Amorim's squad reached double figures in the league while the senior striking partnership of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee combined for just seven goals. The decision was made that the existing forwards were not up to scratch and new recruits would be targeted this summer to improve the team's attacking threat. Consequently, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko have all been signed for a combined cost in excess of £200 million, beating out Premier League rivals in the race for each player. Fans are excitedly awaiting each new forward's debut in the grudge match against Arsenal tomorrow. All three are expected to become key members of Amorim's starting eleven with players like Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho likely to leave Old Trafford as a result. But United appear to show no signs of slowing down in their overhaul of the Portuguese coach's front line. The Red Devils are reported to be keeping tabs on further options to strengthen the attack with Caught Offside revealing the club are 'closely following' PSG winger Kang-In Lee. Behind Arsenal in the race Lee, 24, has been 'linked with a move away' from the French capital in recent months, according to the report, despite being 'highly rated by PSG manager, Luis Enrique'. United are said to be joined in the hunt for the South Korea international by Arsenal and Serie A champions Napoli with Lee's recent performance against Tottenham Hotspur in the European Super Cup having 'attracted the attention of Europe's leading clubs.' United hold a long-standing interest in Lee, who previously played for LaLiga side Valencia before his move to Paris. However, Arsenal have moved ahead in the race for the versatile forward after 'making direct contact' to agree a deal, narrowing United's window of opportunity to strike. INEOS will have to act fast to trump their rival and secure Lee's signature – as they have done so three times already this summer.

Jarrett Stidham shines again as Broncos dominate Cardinals in 27-7 win
The Denver Broncos dominated the Arizona Cardinals with a 27-7 win in Week 2 of NFL preseason at Empower Field at Mile High on Saturday evening. The Broncos rested most starters, but coach Sean Payton made a few exceptions, including tight end Evan Engram. The veteran helped Denver march 97 yards on the team's opening drive with a 58-yard catch-and-run. After quarterback Jarrett Stidham then connected with rookie receiver Pat Bryant for 29 more yards, rookie running back RJ Harvey punched it in from eight yards out to give the Broncos an early 7-0 lead. Arizona matched that score with an 11-play, 67-yard drive that ended with quarterback Jacoby Brissett's 16-yard touchdown pass to receiver Simi Fehoko to tie the game at 7-7. Stidham later threw a touchdown pass of his own, connecting with receiver Troy Franklin on a 27-yard score to give the Broncos a 14-7 lead. After Denver's second score of the game, the Cardinals replaced Brissett with Clayton Tune at quarterback late in the first quarter. Stidham stayed in the game for the Broncos' third series and the offense drove down to the two-yard line and lined up to go for it on 4th-and-1 before offensive lineman Alex Palczewski was penalized for a false start. After the penalty backed the team up five yards, Denver settled for a 26-yard Wil Lutz field goal to make it 17-7. The highlight of that drive was a 35-yard run from running back Jaleel McLaughlin. Stidham ended up playing the entire first half and he connected with Franklin again late in the second quarter on a 17-yard touchdown pass to extend the lead to 24-7. After Lutz missed a 64-yard field goal attempt, the Broncos took a 17-point lead into halftime. Stidham finished his night 16-of-23 passing for 240 yards with two touchdowns. Lutz later converted a 35-yard field goal in the third quarter to extend the lead to 27-7. Sam Ehlinger took over at quarterback in the second half and he threw what would have been a touchdown pass to Caden Prieskorn late in the fourth quarter, but the tight end fumbled the ball and the Cardinals recovered it in the end zone for a touchback. It didn't take long for Denver to get the ball back and run out the clock, securing a 27-7 victory. On the injury front, backup offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo was carted off the field in the third quarter and was quickly ruled out with a knee injury. Gargiulo has been competing for a backup swing guard/center role. Outside linebacker Garrett Wilson also left in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. Up next for the Broncos is a preseason finale against the New Orleans Saints next weekend. Social: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X! Did you know: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.
