Manchester United sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for £73.7m
Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig on a five year contract. The deal is worth up to £73.7m and includes add-ons that could push the total higher. Sesko passed a medical at Old Trafford and is set to be unveiled after the club continues its pre season schedule. He is described as a key part of Ruben Amorim’s plan to rebuild United’s attack, joining Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in a new look forward line. The Slovenia international scored 13 Bundesliga goals last season and is regarded as one of Europe’s most promising forwards.
The move follows a busy summer of spending by United that has seen four major signings including Cunha, Mbeumo and Diego Leon. Sesko had been a target for Newcastle United, who reportedly offered more in transfer fee and wages, but the player chose Old Trafford. Sesko moved to RB Salzburg as a teenager from Domzale and spent two seasons on loan at Liefering, Salzburg’s second tier team.
Key Takeaways
"The history of Manchester United is obviously very special but what really excites me is the future."
Sesko on the club’s ambition.
"Benjamin possesses a rare combination of electrifying pace and the ability to physically dominate defenders, making him one of the most exceptional young talents in world football."
Jason Wilcox on Sesko's profile.
"The owners are very much engaged, as much as they always have been. This has been a challenging period where there’ll be a lot of different opinions on different subjects, but can assure everybody connected with Newcastle that the owners are very much behind the project and fighting every day for the club."

This is a bold bet on a young striker with a price tag that signals United’s ambition. It raises questions about long term sustainability, wage structure, and how quickly the team can translate potential into trophies. The deal also reflects the growing role of big spending in shaping title races and the scrutiny that comes with it. Firm financial commitments come with the risk of higher expectations from fans and investors alike.
Strategically the move fits United’s plan to create a dangerous attacking trio under Amorim. If Sesko delivers, he could unlock space for Cunha and Mbeumo and accelerate the club’s return to Champions League contention. If not, the high price could become a focal point for criticism and a reminder that football success requires more than transfer fees and flash funding.

- a bold bet on Sesko’s ceiling with a price tag to match
- old trafford bets on youth and energy to rewrite the story

Financial and market risk from high spending

The season will reveal whether bold moves pay off.
