Overview

• An Athletic survey of 20 agents saw six label Sesko the window’s worst signing, with quotes citing “way too much money,” premature timing and pressure on United’s recruitment.
• Manchester United paid roughly £73.6–£75m to sign the 22-year-old from RB Leipzig as part of Ruben Amorim’s broader attacking overhaul.
• Before the break, Sesko scored in consecutive Premier League games, with analysts highlighting his hold-up play, movement and aerial prowess despite an initially slow start.
• He then featured in Slovenia’s 0-0 draws with Kosovo and Switzerland, managing one shot against the Swiss as his national-team goal drought extended back to November 2024.
• Slovenia sit third in their group with home to Kosovo and away to Sweden next month, while club voices urge patience based on improving shot locations and box-touch metrics.
