Manchester United’s pursuit of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško has taken a dramatic turn, with the club reportedly subjecting the 21-year-old to a decisive transfer “test” before committing to a huge opening bid. Sources suggest that this was a non-negotiable step in the evaluation process, designed to ensure Šeško meets specific physical, tactical, and psychological requirements set by the recruitment team.
Had the talented Slovenian forward failed this assessment, United were prepared to abandon the deal entirely, no matter the hype surrounding his potential. The fact that he passed has now paved the way for United to table a substantial first offer, signalling the club’s intent to strengthen their attack with a player they believe can deliver both immediately and in the long term.
This bold move underscores the high standards the Old Trafford hierarchy is enforcing for new signings, especially in the striker position, where recent misfires have proven costly.
