Manchester United have secured their new star striker with the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for around 85 million euros. The Slovenian player has inked a five-season deal, aiming to bolster the forward line under Ruben Amorim.
Sesko, 22, impressed last season with 21 goals and six assists in all competitions. Known for his physical prowess and shooting power, he draws comparisons to Ibrahimovic, who previously donned the Red Devils’ jersey.
The Slovenian striker idolizes Ibrahimovic, citing his enjoyment on the pitch and freedom to do as he pleased. Sesko’s arrival completes a costly trident for Manchester United, with Sesko being the priciest among the recent signings.
In a market filled with attacking talent, Sesko joins the likes of Ekitike, Cunha, Mbeumo, and others making waves in the Premier League. Newcastle had eyed Sesko as a potential replacement for Isak but ultimately lost out to Manchester United.
Sesko will be unveiled at Old Trafford on Saturday, August 9, alongside other new signings. Manchester United’s latest acquisition is part of a strategic effort to revamp the team and challenge for the Premier League title after a lackluster season.
