Overview

• Manchester United signed Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for an initial £66.3m, potentially rising to £74m, after fending off Newcastle.
• Sesko scored at Brentford and then netted at Old Trafford in a 2-0 win over Sunderland to make it two Premier League games in a row on the scoresheet.
• CIES Football Observatory now values Sesko at roughly €109m–€119m (£94.6m–£103.33m), making him United’s most valuable player by that metric.
• Sesko told MUTV there is “loads to come” as he learns teammates’ movements and continues adapting to the club and league.
• Reactions remain mixed, with Wayne Rooney highlighting his hold-up play and impact on runners, while Sam Allardyce argues United should have targeted Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta.
