Manchester United confirmed they will not sell Benjamin Sesko this summer, rebuffing enquiries from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. The club is reportedly keen on retaining Sesko, who showed significant improvement in his second season after a slow start following his £73.7 million transfer from RB Leipzig.
