Benjamin Šeško Signs for Manchester United – Official and Confirmed!

Manchester United have made a major statement in the transfer market by securing the signing of Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig. The deal is now official, confirmed with Fabrizio Romano’s iconic words: “HERE WE GO!”

A Strategic Move for the Red Devils

At just 22 years old, Benjamin Šeško is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most promising young strikers. With his towering frame (1.95m), surprising speed for his size, and sharp finishing ability, Šeško had been on the radar of several top clubs. In the end, it’s Manchester United who won the race.

The club had been looking to bolster its attacking options for several months. Despite having Rasmus Højlund, Erik ten Hag wanted a forward who could stretch defenses, hold up play, and deliver in big moments. Šeško fits that profile perfectly.

Deal Details

The transfer fee is reported to be around €50 to €60 million, including bonuses. Šeško has signed a five-year deal, with an option for an additional year. He is expected to wear the number 19 jersey (awaiting official confirmation from the club).

A Rapid Rise to the Top

After beginning his career at Domžale in Slovenia, Šeško made a name for himself at Red Bull Salzburg before continuing his development at Leipzig, where he scored 18 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions during the 2024–2025 season. His mix of power, mobility, and composure in front of goal quickly caught the eyes of top scouts.

Fan Reactions

Fans across social media are buzzing with excitement. Many believe Šeško has the potential to become a Premier League star and finally fill the void left by years of inconsistent striker signings. Some are even comparing him to Erling Haaland, another towering talent who rose through Salzburg’s ranks.

What This Means for Manchester United

With this signing, United are sending a clear message: the club is ready to compete for the Premier League title and make a deep run in the Champions League. Šeško could be the missing piece in their evolving attacking puzzle.
