Manchester United have officially landed highly-rated Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško in a blockbuster summer transfer that signals their attacking intent for the new season. After intense competition, United beat Newcastle to the signature of the RB Leipzig forward, who had long been on the radar of top European clubs. The 21-year-old has agreed personal terms with the Premier League giants and is expected to be unveiled in the coming days.
The total fee, reported to be around €85 million (£73.3 million), includes performance-related bonuses. Manchester United will pay an initial £66.3 million, with the remainder due as add-ons. While Newcastle submitted a higher financial offer, it’s understood that Šeško’s heart was set on Old Trafford—drawn by the club’s heritage, vision, and the chance to lead a major rebuild.
Šeško becomes United’s third attacking reinforcement this window, joining Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Manager Rúben Amorim is clearly restructuring the club’s frontline, with the Slovene striker expected to play a central role. Known for his pace, physical presence, and intelligent movement, Šeško brings much-needed freshness and hunger to United’s squad.
Fans are already buzzing at the prospect of seeing the young striker in action. With United desperate to challenge for silverware again, Šeško’s arrival could be a defining moment. The Red Devils are not just rebuilding—they’re making a statement.
