After a tough Premier League season where Manchester United struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just 44 goals, the club has made it crystal clear — they’re going all in on fixing that problem.
And with new boss Ruben Amorim at the helm, the rebuilding job up front has already kicked off in earnest.
Amorim Gets to Work on Revamping United’s Attack
Amorim wasted no time after taking charge. His first move?
Bringing in Matheus Cunha from Wolves — a signing that cost United £62.5 million. Soon after, Bryan Mbeumo followed from Brentford, continuing the club’s aggressive approach to overhauling the frontline.
But even with those two signings secured, Amorim reportedly still wants one more key piece — a proper striker to lead the attack.
That’s where 22-year-old Benjamin Sesko comes back into the picture.
The Sesko Report That’s Catching Everyone’s Attention
An old scouting report on Sesko from Manchester United’s current head of recruitment, Christopher Vivell, has suddenly resurfaced — and it might be playing a role in United’s growing interest in the Slovenian forward.
Vivell, who joined United in the summer of 2024, has past ties with Sesko.
Before his move to Old Trafford, Vivell held roles at Chelsea and Hoffenheim — but crucially, he also worked at RB Leipzig, where Sesko’s talent first caught his eye.
Vivell’s Glowing Praise for Sesko
Back when Vivell was still with Leipzig, he was already convinced Sesko had something special.
In a past interview shared by Bundesliga.com, he didn’t hold back his excitement.
“Benjamin Šeško is among the game’s top young talents and has enormous potential to become a top player,” Vivell said.
He highlighted Sesko’s unique combination of size, speed, and technical ability, describing him as “extremely quick,” “strong in the air,” and “technically gifted,” despite standing at an imposing 6’4″.
Vivell summed him up as “a real goalscorer” with a “special profile” — someone who doesn’t just bring physical presence, but real football intelligence and versatility.
Could Sesko Be the Final Piece in Amorim’s Puzzle?
With United still looking to land a striker who can truly lead their frontline into a new era, Sesko’s name isn’t just a throwaway mention — it’s one with weight.
He fits the bill, has a key advocate within the club, and at 22, he’s got the perfect blend of youth and experience.
There’s likely more to come on this story.
For now, fans will be watching closely to see if United turn admiration into a formal offer.
