Sesko's Slovenia Assist Offers Timely Boost in Slow Manchester United Start

A late assist for Slovenia plus 90 minutes provided a timely lift after a goalless start to his £74m move.

Overview

  • Manchester United signed Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for a reported £74 million this summer.
  • He has four appearances for United totaling 170 minutes without a goal or assist, with his only start coming in the Carabao Cup loss to League Two Grimsby Town.
  • For Slovenia, he played the full 90 minutes and created the stoppage-time equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Sweden.
  • Strike partner Andraz Sporar urged patience, praising Sesko’s speed, power and football IQ and predicting he can become a complete striker within two to three years.
  • Sesko told Slovenian outlet Ekipa that the level in England is higher than he expected and said he feels he is improving in training.
