"Benjamin Sesko's debut season at Old Trafford has been hit and miss, but there is no denying that the potential is there with the 22-year-old Slovenian forward. Signed from RB Leipzig in a deal worth £73.7m last August, the Slovenia international has netted eight times and picked up an assist in 24 matches so far."
"Sesko had been a key player for former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, who had made him his main pick to lead the frontline ahead of Joshua Zirkzee. The United striker has found himself on the bench under interim boss Michael Carrick, but he has impressed as an impact sub and his form has been picking up."
"Just like Sesko, the consistency of Matheus Cunha has been brought into question at times in the 2025-26 season after his stunning £62.5m move from Wolves last June."
Manchester United made four significant summer signings under manager Ruben Amorim: Senne Lammens, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and Matheus Cunha. Benjamin Sesko, signed from RB Leipzig for £73.7m, has scored eight goals and provided one assist in 24 matches, demonstrating potential despite inconsistent performances. He was Amorim's preferred striker over Joshua Zirkzee but has found limited playing time under interim manager Michael Carrick, though he has impressed as an impact substitute. Matheus Cunha, acquired from Wolves for £62.5m, has also shown inconsistency throughout the season. These signings represented Ineos's commitment to backing Amorim's vision, though his subsequent departure has altered the trajectory of these investments.
