Manchester United sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for 85m Euros

Manchester United Football Club has officially signed Slovenian international striker Benjamin Sesko from German side RB Leipzig.

The Red Devils completed the deal for a reported fee of 85 million Euros, with the contract set to run until June 2030.

Sesko’s Impressive Form

The 22-year-old Sesko had an impressive 2024-2025 season, scoring 21 goals and adding six assists in 45 games in all competitions.

His signing is expected to improve Manchester United’s woeful attack, which registered only 44 goals in 38 league games last season.

Sesko’s Expectations

Sesko expressed his excitement about joining Manchester United, citing the club’s special history and its potential for growth.

“The history of Manchester United is obviously very special, but what really excites me is the future. When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything is in place for this team to continue to grow and compete for the biggest trophies again soon,” Sesko said after joining the club.

Manchester United’s Summer Signings

Sesko is the latest signing for Manchester United this offseason, following the arrivals of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha from Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers, respectively.

The club is looking to strengthen its squad and improve its performance in the upcoming season.

Sesko’s signing is expected to have a significant impact on Manchester United’s attack, providing a much-needed boost to the team’s goal-scoring abilities.

With his impressive form and towering height of 6 feet 5 inches, Sesko is expected to be a key player for the Red Devils in the upcoming season.
