Man United complete Benjamin Sesko deal: Hope for a new era

(NLDO) – Man United is getting very close to signing Benjamin Sesko after the young Slovenian striker flew to Manchester for a medical on the evening of August 7.

Although Newcastle once strongly offered Benjamin Sesko attractive terms, the Slovenian star always expressed his desire to play for the Old Trafford team.

British press reported that Sesko was in Manchester on the evening of August 7.

Benjamin Sesko is considered the new Haaland

Standing at 1.95m tall, with impressive speed and an all-round scoring ability, Sesko has been dubbed the "new Erling Haaland" of European football. Last season, the 22-year-old striker scored 21 goals and assisted 6 times in 45 matches for RB Leipzig, bringing his total goals to 39 after 87 appearances in all competitions since joining the German team.

Benjamin Sesko decided to choose Man United to join

According to the British press, Man United has submitted an offer worth 75 million euros (65.3 million pounds), with 10 million euros in additional fees (8.7 million pounds). Newcastle, despite offering a higher price - a total of 85 million euros - still could not convince Sesko to change his mind. If the procedures are completed, Sesko will become a Man United player with a contract signed until June 2030, despite the "Red Devils" not being able to participate in the European Cup next season.

Benjamin Sesko takes pay cut to play for Man United

The 22-year-old has agreed to take a pay cut at United to help the move go through. His exact salary at the Red Devils has not been revealed, but it is likely that the striker will earn £160,000 a week, with a 25% increase to around £200,000 a week if United qualify for next season's Champions League.

Man United strengthens attack with Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko

Sesko’s choice of Man United when the team is not playing in the Champions League shows the great faith that this player has in the reconstruction project under coach Ruben Amorim. The Manchester team is implementing a policy of rejuvenating the squad, at the same time building a modern, strong pressing style of play. In that scheme, Sesko is expected to be the ideal center forward – flexible, strong, capable of wide activities and sharp finishing in the penalty area.

If the deal is completed, Sesko could make his debut in a friendly against Fiorentina this weekend. However, it is likely that the Slovenian will officially join Man United in the opening round of the 2025-2026 Premier League season - an exciting confrontation with Arsenal on August 17 at Old Trafford.

Long-term vision from the Benjamin Sesko deal

The successful recruitment of Sesko not only adds strength to Man United's attack but also affirms the long-term vision of the team's leadership. After a turbulent season, the "Red Devils" need a new face capable of shining and inspiring - and Benjamin Šeško has all the elements to do that.

Newcastle are believed to have given up on Sesko after several failed attempts. Eddie Howe's side are now turning their attention to other targets such as Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Yoane Wissa (Brentford), Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) and Loïs Openda - Sesko's teammate at Leipzig.
