MANCHESTER UNITED has been told to expect a “complete” striker in Benjamin Sesko—but patience will be essential.
The £74 million acquisition from RB Leipzig has yet to find the net since his arrival in England.

Despite this, the 22-year-old displayed his potential for Slovenia on Friday, assisting Zan Vipotnik for a vital goal that earned a late 2-2 draw against Sweden.
His teammate Andraz Sporar, 31, is hopeful that Sesko will deliver exciting moments at Old Trafford.
Sporar noted: “He brings everything to United—speed, strength, intelligence, and a keen football IQ.
“I really believe he can evolve into a complete striker within the next two or three years.
“He’s still young and will be an invaluable asset for Manchester United; they just need to exercise patience.
“I’m certain he’ll score goals and improve with each passing year.”
Sporar notably caused issues for United during a previous loan at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup in 2022.
He reflected, “That penalty shootout victory is a highlight of my career.”

He shared, “It’s hard to top that experience. Competing against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the FA Cup, reaching penalties, and witnessing Cristiano Ronaldo miss one is unforgettable.
Nonetheless, Sporar is hopeful that Sesko can help create a new memorable moment by leading Slovenia to qualify for their third World Cup next summer.
