Manchester United fans across the world are excited to see Benjamin Sesko make his debut.
Benjamin Sesko completed a transfer from RB Leipzig to Manchester United last week before being unveiled in front of the Old Trafford faithful.
The Slovenian international joins United at a time when the team is desperate for a reliable goalscorer. That explains why Ruben Amorim has focused on adding to his attacking department this summer, with the view of getting rid of players like Antony and Alejandro Garnacho after loaning Marcus Rashford to Barcelona.
Matheus Cunha was the first summer signing from Wolves, joining the Red Devils a month before Bryan Mbeumo completed his move from Brentford. Unlike Sesko, these two players have experienced life in the Premier League. This move will take him out of his Bundesliga comfort zone.
While it remains to be seen when Sesko will make his debut, the 22-year-old is expected to replace Rasmus Hojlund in the line-up.
Sesko has already explained what fans can expect from him in a United shirt.

Bruno Fernandes has been crying out for a player like Benjamin Sesko
Ever since signing for United in 2021, Fernandes has been the club’s most valuable player.
Erik ten Hag made the popular decision to take the captain’s armband from Harry Maguire, only to give it to Fernandes, who remains the most influential player in United’s first-team.

Throughout Fernandes’ time at United, however, the Red Devils have not had a reliable centre-forward to provide the goals. That doesn’t help the Portugal international who creates chances like no other player in Europe.
Fernandes has created 507 chances in the Premier League since signing for United, which is 122 more than any other player across Europe’s top five leagues, according to Statman Dave.
Only 44 of those registered as assists, ranking Fernandes fifth in Europe.
Since his first full season in the Premier League, Bruno Fernandes has created 507 chances. That's 122 more than any other player across Europe's top five leagues.
Despite this, the 44 assists he has in that timeframe is only enough to rank him fifth in Europe.

Sesko will be aiming to unleash Fernandes’ full power this season.
RB Leipzig will miss Sesko’s goals
Sesko made 45 appearances for RB Leipzig last season, scoring 21 goals and registering six assists.
The Premier League will be a different story for the Slovenian, but United have added enough attacking quality this summer to make his introduction a lot easier.
If Sesko can replicate his 21-goal tally this season, it would be a solid improvement on Hojlund’s 10 goals from last season.
Sesko arrives with high expectations.
