BENJAMIN ŠEŠKO BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT – UNITED ON ALERT
As the summer transfer window heats up, Benjamin Šeško has emerged as one of the most talked-about names in European football. With top clubs urgently seeking to bolster their forward lines, the 21-year-old Slovenian striker has become a prime target — and Manchester United appear to be re-entering the conversation.
Šeško, currently at RB Leipzig, is seen by many as the last elite-level striker still realistically attainable in this market. With other big-name forwards either already snapped up or deemed too expensive, his profile — youth, physicality, and sharp instincts in front of goal — has become even more valuable.
What makes the situation more intriguing is Šeško’s history with Manchester United. In 2022, he declined a move to Old Trafford, opting for a development-focused path in the Bundesliga instead. But that decision doesn’t seem to have closed the door completely.
According to credible insider Samuel Luckhurst, Šeško’s agent has visited both Old Trafford and Carrington — United’s training facility — multiple times since that initial rejection. Such visits are rarely casual. They often indicate renewed discussions, groundwork being laid, or at the very least, interest from the player’s camp in keeping the lines of communication open.
With United still assessing their striker options following links to Rasmus Højlund, Matheus Cunha, and others, the idea of pivoting back to Šeško — a player with enormous upside — could become a key focus in the coming days. Whether it’s a negotiating tactic, genuine pursuit, or groundwork for a future window, something is clearly brewing behind the scenes.
One thing is certain: As the pool of available strikers continues to shrink, clubs will be watching the Šeško situation closely — and Manchester United might just be ready to make their move.
