Manchester United’s long-standing interest in rising Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško appears to be reigniting, as reports suggest the club has maintained consistent contact with the player and his camp throughout the year. According to well-placed sources familiar with the situation, United scouts have been monitoring Šeško’s development closely for over three years, and the club remains seriously interested in securing his signature.
Šeško, who has been steadily building a reputation as one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards, is admired within the corridors of Old Trafford for his complete and adaptable style of play. The 21-year-old possesses a rare combination of physicality, intelligence, technical skill, and finishing prowess traits that Manchester United believe would translate seamlessly into the demands and pace of the Premier League.
Club insiders describe Šeško as a forward with a modern profile: tall, quick, and tactically versatile. He’s capable of playing as a traditional No. 9, dropping deep to link play, or running the channels to stretch defenses a dynamic that manager Erik ten Hag reportedly finds very appealing as he continues to mold the team into a more fluid and attacking unit.
Despite reported interest from several top European clubs including teams in Germany, Spain, and even rival Premier League sides sources suggest that the striker himself holds a particular admiration for Manchester United. One insider noted that Šeško would be “especially open” to joining the Red Devils, viewing a move to Old Trafford not only as a career-defining step but also a platform that aligns with his ambitions of becoming one of the elite forwards in world football.
While no deal has been finalized and negotiations remain in the preliminary stages, United are believed to be preparing to move strategically in the coming weeks. With the club’s recruitment team prioritizing attacking reinforcements this summer, Šeško remains firmly on their shortlist.
However, United know that swift and decisive action may be necessary. As the transfer window progresses and the player’s stock continues to rise, competition is expected to intensify. But as things stand, Manchester United may well have the edge both in terms of long-standing interest and the player’s own preferences.
Šeško’s growing admiration for the club, combined with United’s clear belief in his potential, could make this one of the most significant transfer stories to watch as the window unfolds.
