WHY I SAID NO: MAN UTD PLAYER EXPLAINS ARSENAL, NEWCASTLE SNUB
Benjamin Šeško reveals he turned down Arsenal & Newcastle for Man Utd to fulfil a lifelong dream. The £74m striker admitted he only wanted United, a move his agent confirms they were both willing to take pay cuts to make happen.

The reason Benjamin Sesko turned down offers from Newcastle United and Arsenal to join Manchester United in the summer has been revealed.
After two strong Bundesliga seasons, the Slovenian striker signed a £74 million contract with RB Leipzig and moved to Old Trafford in August.
Sesko has had a mixed start to his Premier League career. Before the most recent international break, he scored two goals in a row, but he was benched for United's incredible victory over Liverpool at Anfield last weekend.
Several English teams looking for a fresh goal scorer expressed interest in the 22-year-old during the summer.
Sesko had long been a target for Arsenal, but after the two teams were unable to agree, the Gunners shifted their attention to Viktor Gyokeres, whom they signed for £63 million.
After Newcastle and Leipzig reached an agreement worth €80 million (£69.5 million) plus €5 million (£4.3 million) in add-ons for the 22-year-old, Newcastle appeared to have pounced.
Sesko was lured to Old Trafford on a five-year contract by United, who intervened at the last minute to seal the deal.
After learning of the Red Devils' interest, Sesko has since claimed that he only had eyes on joining Ruben Amorim's team and realising his lifelong dream, despite reports throughout the summer that he had always favoured a move to United.
"It is not just mine; it is probably just a dream for a lot of football players," he said to Sky Sports.
Playing for a club like that is something you want to accomplish throughout your career.
I was enraged to learn that I could relocate and that switching teams, particularly to United, was a real possibility. It is something I have always desired. I am overjoyed that it happened.
"Yeah," Sesko said when asked if United was the only team he wanted to join. Playing for a team like this and a stadium like this was my dream. It is something I have always desired.
Elvis Basanovic, Sesko's agent, stated in a statement over the summer that his client was prepared to forgo money to complete his transfer to United.
He told POPoln Kanal, "I think it was also significant that Benjamin wanted to move, for several years now, to Manchester United."
Additionally, we saw that Benjamin was open to accepting a little lesser salary in the Manchester United example, and that I was likewise willing to accept a lower commission.
"It was just a wish, and somehow our dreams and Benjamin's hopes that something like this would occur, and we are truly delighted."
DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE
Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.
The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.

"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."
Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.
Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.
No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.
ARSENAL STAR DROPS CONFIDENT TITLE HINT AFTER STRONG OPENING
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is targeting a historic Premier League and World Cup double with England this season. The winger believes it's a "doable" feat as the Gunners lead the title race.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.
Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.
Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.
Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
