Benjamin Sesko officially began his Manchester United career this weekend following a high-profile £74 million transfer from RB Leipzig. The 22-year-old striker arrived at the club's Carrington training base on Saturday to meet teammates and club staff.
United released behind-the-scenes footage showcasing Sesko's inaugural day, which included posing in the iconic red home jersey, greeting captain Bruno Fernandes and fellow new signing Joshua Zirkzee, and conducting his first official interview as a Red Devil. The Slovenian international later finalized his five-year contract in a signing ceremony.
While supporters celebrated United's productive transfer window – which also featured arrivals of Matheus Cunha (£62.5m) and Bryan Mbeumo (£71m) – Sesko's choice of transportation unexpectedly became a talking point. The striker arrived in a vibrant red Jeep, prompting polarized reactions across social media platforms.
"Ngl that car tacky," remarked one fan on Twitter, while another queried: "How do we rate Sesko's car?" A third supporter humorously pleaded: "Hope he's better than his taste in cars..."
Following United's 1-1 pre-season draw against Fiorentina, Sesko explored his new city, dining at Manchester's upscale Italian restaurant San Carlo with agent Elvis Basanovic. The transfer activity leaves United with a net spend of £140.5 million after releasing veterans Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen.
Despite the vehicular debate, anticipation remains high for Sesko's contribution to Erik ten Hag's squad as United prepare for the new Premier League campaign.
