Sesko seals move to Manchester United

Benjamin Sesko’s arrival at Manchester United was marked by staff noting his imposing presence as part of a high profile transfer from RB Leipzig.

Sesko Impresses Man United Staff in Big Transfer from RB Leipzig

Manchester United confirmed the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for an initial 66.3 million pounds, with add-ons that could push the total to 73.7 million pounds. The 22-year-old Slovenian striker completed his medical and was presented to fans at Old Trafford after United moved ahead of Newcastle in the bid, with the club also announcing Sesko as their fourth signing of the summer. The transfer coinc came with the reopening of the refurbished Carrington training complex, framing the move as a symbol of United’s busy window.

Mark Froggatt, in a feature for United’s official site, described Sesko during his Carrington visit as a 6ft 5in presence who was “an imposing figure” and “oozing confidence” as he met staff and was shown around the facility. Sesko asked to see the new Adidas kit and made an effort to remember names as he was introduced to hundreds of people around the club.

The deal signals Manchester United’s willingness to invest big to bolster the attack and to secure a profile forward with long-term potential. At 22, Sesko arrives as a high-ceiling option who could grow into a central role after adapting to the Premier League. Still, the price tag and the associated add-ons raise questions about wage structure and short-term return, especially if on-field impact takes time. The Carrington reopening is more than a stage set; it underlines United’s intent to project momentum and stability as new signings settle in. Competitors like Newcastle will watch closely how United integrates Sesko with existing forwards and with manager Ruben Amorim’s system.
