Benjamin Sesko Says Manchester United Was His Dream Destination After Arsenal Interest

United secured the 22-year-old in a reported £74m deal during an attacking rebuild.

Overview

  • Sesko told Sky Sports he was "burning" to join Manchester United and described playing at Old Trafford as a long-held ambition.
  • Arsenal tracked the striker before turning to Viktor Gyokeres, and Newcastle were also interested in a move.
  • Manchester United’s summer business on the forward line was reported at around £200m, with Sesko the only out-and-out striker added.
  • Rúben Amorim has eased Sesko into the side, explaining his benching for the 2-1 win over Liverpool as a tactical choice.
  • Sesko has scored in each of his past two starts, while early-season comparisons suggest Gyokeres has begun more strongly for Arsenal.
