Benjamin Sesko Set for Official Manchester United Unveiling Ahead of Fiorentina Friendly
Manchester United fans are in for a treat this weekend. Benjamin Sesko, the promising Slovenian forward, is poised to be officially introduced as a Manchester United player ahead of the club’s final pre-season match against Fiorentina at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The 20-year-old arrived in the UK on Friday to complete his medical examinations, signalling that the club’s long-anticipated signing is close to completion. Sources confirm that United have reached a deal in principle with RB Leipzig for Sesko, who is expected to sign a five-year contract shortly.
If all goes according to plan, Sesko will be formally presented to the home crowd during the fixture against Fiorentina, giving fans their first glimpse of the Red Devils’ latest attacking weapon. The club has agreed an initial fee of £66.3 million (€76.5 million), with an additional £7.37 million (€8.5 million) in performance-based bonuses.
Sesko’s arrival is set to bolster Manchester United’s forward line alongside other new recruits, including Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Nunez, who are both expected to feature prominently in manager Ruben Amorim’s revamped attack.
This pre-season friendly marks a significant moment for United as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League campaign, with Sesko’s unveiling adding a fresh wave of excitement around Old Trafford.
Man Utd vs Fiorentina promises more than just a friendly, it could be the stage where a new era begins at Manchester United.
