Sesko signs for Manchester United

Manchester United add Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig as part of a busy transfer window.

Manchester United sign Sesko to boost attack

Manchester United have followed through on a promise to push forward this summer. They unveiled Benjamin Sesko, the Slovenian striker who scored 21 goals for RB Leipzig last season, as the latest addition to a rapidly reshaped attack. United have already signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, making Sesko the third attacking arrival in a few months. The club also hints at further work, with talks ongoing for a goalkeeper and a midfielder as the window edges toward its closer date.

The quartet of forward signings signals a clear shift in how United want to be viewed: as a club willing to spend when the plan is sound. Yet the cost is high. Sesko’s reported £73.7 million fee adds to a forward line that could cost north of £200 million in total. The move aligns with Omar Berrada’s stated approach to recruitment: invest prudently but with ambition and a long view. Integrating three fresh attackers into a single system will be the real test, especially as other areas of the squad—goalkeeping and midfield—are still unsettled. The underlying question is whether this strategy will translate into consistent results on the pitch and a return to Europe’s elite under pressure.
