Manchester United need the long-term services of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko more than anything right now. Even after including two forwards like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo, Manchester United are leaving no stone unturned for Sesko. Ruben Amorim’s team has a lot to do this season. The club has to prove their worth once again to the world. Under very tricky circumstances, the legacy club decided to sign one more top striker this summer. Multiple reports can confirm that Manchester United have finalised the Slovenian international as their prime target. The upcoming few days are going to be crucial for getting the deal done.
The Outrageous Pulling Power of Manchester United
For the past few years, Manchester United have significantly lost their position among the top flight football clubs. With season after season, the performance has declined gradually. Once considered the best club in the world, Manchester United haven’t won the league since 2013. Rival fans from all over the world don’t miss any chance to mock the cult fanbase of Manchester United. To put it simply, the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ has turned into the ‘Theatre of Nightmares’; not for the opponents, but for the home fans. Still, fantastic players from all over Europe sign for Manchester United. The football critics have pointed out that this incredible drawing power comes from the club’s glorious past. For instance, Al Hilal made a huge offer for Portuguese international Bruno Fernandes to join the Saudi club this summer. Against all the wild rumours, the Manchester United captain instantly rejected the offer and decided to continue with Manchester United. Players like Cunha and Mbuemo were sensational in the previous year. But once Manchester United showed their interest in them, both forwards didn’t think twice about joining the Red Devils. Especially in case of Mbuemo, the player himself fought with Brentford officials to make the deal happen. There is no exception in Sesko’s deal either. The player has given his top priority only to Manchester United.

Sesko Rejects Champions League Football for Manchester United
Among the best strikers all over Europe right now, Benjamin Sesko is surely the most exciting one to watch out for. While Viktor Gyokeres was the more popular one, Sesko really stunned the football world with his wild athleticism and clinical finishing. The centre-forward joined Bundesliga side RB Leipzig from Austrian giants RB Salzburg in the 2023-24 season. The 22-year-old striker arrived at the German club after a decent season with Salzburg. In 79 appearances for that club, Sesko scored 29 goals. Finally, he accelerated to top gear this season. He bagged 21 goals in overall competitions. Sesko broke the internet while receiving the ball in an acrobatic way against Liverpool. Meanwhile, Newcastle United also offered an official bid to sign Sesko. But the German club immediately rejected that. According to many trusted sources, Benjamin Sesko clearly informed RB Leipzig about his desire to become the new Manchester United player. In this era of money-dominated football system, Sesko chose legacy over everything.
Sesko Can Be a Game Changer for Manchester United
Manchester United might have brought in their absolute cheat code in Benjamin Sesko. Ruben Amorim clearly declared that he wants his players to adapt to high-pressure as quickly as possible. To make Manchester United play in a high press, Amorim needed forwards who could fulfill his demands. As Sesko is set to pair up with Cunha and Mbuemo, this can change the story for the Red Devils in a true sense. Fans have already started imagining Bruno’s defense splitting passes towards this front three. Yet it is too early to say as this front three will be playing together for the first time. Cunha can do the creative works and Mbuemo will surely create pressure in the opponent’s half. This can give a box striker like Benjamin Sesko lots of chances to score vital goals.
From the Author’s End: The Current Scenario
‘Sesko Day’ is coming soon at Old Trafford. The deal has already been agreed and Sesko’s agents have already landed at Manchester. Even Benjamin Sesko is all set to arrive at Carrington tonight. After completing the medicals, Manchester United have decided to officially announce Benjamin Sesko on Friday.
Stay tuned for more news.
