Manchester United signed Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig during the summer transfer window, beating Newcastle United to his signature.
Benjamin Sesko is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and he was heavily linked with other clubs as well. Premier League rivals Newcastle United were interested in securing his signature. Slovenian pundit Tine Zupan has now suggested that his compatriot should have joined Newcastle United instead.
Zupan believes that the player’s style of football would have been a better fit at Newcastle United. The striker ended up joining Manchester United, eventually, and Newcastle United signed Nico Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart.
The German Internation has made an impressive start to life at Newcastle United, and he also scored on his debut. On the other hand, Benjamin Sesko is still waiting for his first goal for Manchester United, and he has also received few opportunities to make his mark in the box.
Quoted by RTVSLO, Zupan explained his opinion on Benjamin Sesko, sayin, “I think Newcastle have a much better style of play for Šeško’s characteristics. Newcastle’s style is a better reflection of what he was used to in Leipzig. They are an extremely direct team, very fast, looking for a different way to score than Manchester United. We saw a big problem with Rasmus Hojlund last season, who was the last striker before Šeško. His shot-on-target statistics were terrible. He had games and games when he didn’t get a shot and now we see it with Šeško.
“Neither Manchester United nor Arsenal have the ideal game for Benjamin Šeško. Arsenal is because they are dominant and Šeško needs space for his game. At United, for the first time this season, we are seeing the beginnings of Amorim’s game, which is significantly more possession-oriented than last season.”
Can Manchester United unlock Sesko’s true potential?
It will be interesting to see if Benjamin Sesko can impress in the coming weeks and score goals consistently for Manchester United. They are in desperate need of a reliable goalscorer, and the Slovenian is certainly a phenomenal talent with a bright future. He is regarded as a world-class prospect.
Ruben Amorim will certainly hope to get the best out of his new signing. Sesko has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can bring out the best in him.
