Benjamin Šeško Open to Manchester United Move — Despite Lack of European Football
RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško is reportedly open to the idea of joining Manchester United this summer, even though the Premier League giants won’t be competing in any European competition next season. This revelation has come as a significant boost to United’s recruitment plans, especially as they look to strengthen their attacking options under new manager Ruben Amorim.
Šeško’s openness to the move highlights his confidence in United’s long-term project and development pathway, rather than short-term success. The young Slovenian forward is said to be intrigued by the vision laid out by the club, including the promise of regular playing time and a central role in their rebuild.
Notably, Manchester United’s interest in Šeško is not new. According to Sam C Reports, the Red Devils have been tracking the highly rated forward for over three years. Their scouts have consistently monitored his progress—from his early days at Red Bull Salzburg to his current form at RB Leipzig—making him one of their most long-standing targets.
With other top European clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Juventus previously expressing interest in Šeško, United’s commitment and persistence could now give them an edge, especially as some rivals shift focus to other targets.
Although Leipzig extended Šeško’s contract in 2024, it reportedly includes a release clause believed to range between £68 million and £86 million, which could be triggered if the buying club meets the valuation. It’s understood that United are actively exploring ways to structure a deal that would satisfy Leipzig while convincing Šeško of his importance in their future.
