Sesko makes Carrington debut at United

Benjamin Sesko’s first look at United’s Carrington training ground showcased a bold personality amid a big transfer fee and rising expectations.

Sesko Wins Early Attention at Carrington Debut

Manchester United completed the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for an initial £66.3 million, with add-ons taking the total potential to £73.7 million. The Slovenian forward was presented to fans ahead of the Fiorentina friendly and joined first team training at Carrington a day after the move was announced.

Following United's penalty shootout win over Fiorentina, Sesko remained at the club to train and settle in, taking time to chat with coaches and staff. On the sidelines, he was seen building relationships with longstanding squad members as the team prepared for the new season. In a moment that suggested his character, Sesko ended training by juggling a spare ball and launching a sequence of powerful shots at an open net, apparently aware a camera was tracking his movements and flashing a quick smile before signing off.

Sesko arrives at United with a clear signal of the club’s intent to strengthen its attacking options. The fee places high expectations on a 22-year-old who is still adapting to Premier League demands. The transfer shows United’s plan to blend youth with proven talent, but it also foreshadows pressure for immediate contribution. As fans watch closely, the challenge will be to balance hype with patience and ensure Sesko has time to grow in a demanding environment.

If the project works, Sesko could become a cornerstone of United’s forward line. If not, the price tag will color every touch and interview. The coming weeks will reveal how quickly he fits into Amorim’s system and how the club manages public and media expectations around a high profile signing.

Highlights

The season will test whether the signing translates into on pitch success.
