United have forked out £74million for the striker, who was briefly on the wishlist of last season's Prem runners-up Arsenal.
Sesko took in some of Manchester's hotspots shortly after confirmation of his Old Trafford move, dining at popular Italian restaurant San Carlo with his agent.
His first official training session with his new team-mates was scheduled for Monday morning, and he arrived bright and early at Carrington.
And the Slovenia international well and truly got stuck in during his first session under the stewardship of Ruben Amorim.

RED ALERT Inside Sesko's first day at Man Utd - but fans not convinced by his car
Sesko took part in what appeared to be a training game organised by Amorim.
He was clearly in the mood to impress as he was seen busting a gut on several occasions.
Sesko was also seen taking part in a finish drill, with the former Leipzig man tasked with finding the back of the net from a cross.
And United fans will be thrilled by the Slovenian's willingness to get his head on the end of the crosses, which he showed with a salmon-esque leap of a diving header.

The arrival of Sesko, who bagged 27 goals and seven assists in 64 appearances for Leipzig, has well and truly increased the firepower at Amorim's disposal.
He's likely to lead the line for the Red Devils in their Premier League opener against Arsenal on Sunday.

But he could play his first game for the club in the coming days as United, according to The Times, are planning to play a secret and currently unscheduled friendly ahead of the visit of the Gunners.
United brass are said to be considering the match to help Sesko gain more "real-world' training before the season begins.
Sesko is champing at the bit, saying: I think it's a great project, in general.
"And I can't wait to start, definitely.

"I've just been here for a couple of hours," he continued. "And it's already been amazing.
"I can already feel that we're going to be a great family and it is a pleasure to be part of it.
"It feels good, you know, the thing is it [the badge] fits well.
"And I'm looking forward to just playing in it a lot and try to represent in the good ways possible."

Grealish adapted and became a Guardiola player. Now can he find himself again?
A figure toils alone at Bodymoor Heath. The light fades, but against the setting sun his silhouette is distinctive: the floppy hair, the hunched gait, the vast calves. Jack Grealish is working, honing and polishing, inventing, striving at the limits of technical excellence. He has inspired Aston Villa to promotion. He has helped them avoid relegation, establish themselves as a Premier League side. He is enormously popular. Even opposing fans admire his ability, warm to the sense he is still in some way the impish kid in the playground, revelling in his ability, having fun. That summer at the Euros he had become a cause célèbre, the figure behind whom the clamour for Gareth Southgate to release the handbrake rallied, the poster boy for the sort of pundit who wished England would just believe in talent. But Grealish wanted more. He was a Villa fan, loved the club, but he wanted to test himself at the very highest level, to compete for the league title, to play in the later stages of the Champions League. He did not want to be just the cheeky kid with the jinking feet; he had professional ambition. At which there came a flash of light, a puff of smoke, and there appeared on the heath a cadaverous, dark-haired figure – Mephistopheles, or perhaps an agent. Grealish could have all these things, the figure said, he could lift trophies, even win a treble, if only he signed a six-year contract with Manchester City. As Grealish reached for the pen, the figure murmured, almost under his breath, that there would be a cost. But by then the deal was done. Which is how we have come, four years later, to this week, and Grealish, the first £100m signing by a British club, being loaned to Everton. He has won three league titles, a Champions League and an FA Cup; the cadaverous figure has fulfilled his part of the bargain. Yet there lurks a sense that Grealish's move four summers ago has not quite worked out, that though much has been won, much too was lost. Perhaps David Moyes, a common line of thought runs, can help the lost boy rediscover his sense of joy. Looked at coldly, Grealish's career has mapped an almost perfect arc. A kid shows talent, joins his local club, prospers, leaves them for a giant, wins trophies, has one outstanding season, and then, as he approaches 30, he drops down again joining another of England's slumbering giants. How else should a career look? You would probably want that third phase to start two or three years later but that aside, this is pretty much the model. Had he stayed at Villa, there would have been corners of the internet mocking him for his lack of ambition and lack of medals, as happened with Harry Kane before he left Tottenham for Bayern. But Grealish has become entwined with a broader discussion, the doubts about the effectiveness of Pep Guardiola's methods – which itself is a broad spectrum, ranging from kneejerk hostility from instinctive nostalgists who believe simple is always good, to considered analysis that wonders whether an obsessive focus on position and possession can make a side predictable now that the world has become familiar with the basic Guardiola methods. Foremost among that second category is Guardiola himself, a manager who has maintained a state of almost perpetual evolution. That is one of the reasons he signed Grealish: to add imagination and improvisation, just as, a year later, he would sign Erling Haaland, another player who did not obviously fit his system, who might generate the friction that would generate the sparks of creativity. Or at least it appears that was the plan. Haaland resisted, refused his manager's demands to drop deep, to convert himself into a gigantic creative midfielder. Grealish did not. Whatever Guardiola originally intended for him, he soon began to craft Grealish to his philosophy. Amid the celebrations at the end of the 2021-22 season, as City came from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa and win the title, Grealish, whose candid nature is part of his charm, spoke of how inhibited he at times felt by Guardiola's demands; his dribbles per game had dropped by 40%. The system had, perhaps inevitably, changed him more than he had changed the system. Manchester City's Jack Grealish (left) and Manchester City's Erling Haaland speak during training session at the City Football Academy, Manchester. Picture: Peter Byrne/PA Wire. The following season was Grealish's best at City. He won the treble. He scored five goals in the league and set up another seven. Guardiola trusted him in the biggest games; he started every knockout game in the Champions League. Teammates nicknamed him the Rest Station because you could give him the ball and take a couple of seconds breather, knowing he was not going to give it away. His dribbles per game rose by 7%. Grealish adapted. He became a Guardiola player. But the next season he started only 10 Premier League games. The one after that, last season, he started seven. Dribbles per game dropped by 56%. When City were chasing a goal in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace, Guardiola preferred to turn to Claudio Echeverri, a 19-year-old Argentinian who had never played for the club. And with that it was over. Injuries have not helped, but neither has his lifestyle – and Guardiola implied a link after Grealish suffered a recurrence of a groin injury in February last year. Very few modern footballers have been pictured quite so often in the company of alcohol. That is not to say Grealish has led a life of hedonism, or even of a footballer of 30 years ago, but neither is he one of the 'obedient little schoolboys' – to use Zlatan Ibrahimovic's term – favoured by Guardiola. Whether that is how he has always lived or whether he lost some hunger after winning the treble, only Grealish can know. Perhaps he could tolerate the restrictions only so long. But he is still young. If he can remain injury-free, there could be a glorious third act to his career, perhaps even a trophy at a club that would really appreciate it. And if he could rediscover that sense of joy while doing so, if he can make the Faustian deal a temporary contract, what a career that would be, beginning and ending as a popular schoolyard player, with a curious trophy-winning interlude in the middle.

Jannik Sinner ends Atmane's dream run to reach Cincinnati final
Top seed and defending champion Jannik Sinner, playing on his 24th birthday, ended French qualifier Terence Atmane's dream run at the Cincinnati Open with a 7-6(4) 6-2 win on Saturday to reach the final of the US Open tune-up event. Sinner won a remarkable 91% of his first-serve points, did not face a single break point during the 86-minute match and converted two of five break points in his first career meeting with world number 136 Atmane. "Very, very tough challenge," Sinner said on court after being serenaded with "Happy Birthday" by the crowd. "Every time when you play against someone completely new it's very difficult. "I knew that I had to be very, very careful and my mindset today was in a good spot. I feel like I handled situations on the court very well." The Italian world number one had his hands full throughout a tightly contested first set which featured an imperious serving display from both men and not a single break point opportunity for either player. Sinner, who lost just three points on serve in the opening set, held to love for a third consecutive game to force the tiebreak where Atmane gifted his opponent the opening point with a double fault and from there the Italian never looked back. The reigning US Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon champion opened the second set with a nine-minute hold of serve, then held to love before finally breaking Atmane for a 3-1 lead that gave him the cushion he needed. Sinner followed that with another hold to love to go 4-1 up and all but end any hope for Atmane, who beat top-10 players Taylor Fritz and Holger Rune en route to his maiden ATP Masters 1000 semi-final. With Atmane serving at 2-5 and looking to stay in the match, Sinner quickly jumped ahead 0-40 before sealing the win on his third match point when the Frenchman sent a forehand into the net.
