Slovenian sensation Benjamin Sesko has finally broken his silence on his high-profile move to Manchester United, explaining the factors that swayed his decision in favour of the Red Devils.
The 20-year-old striker, one of Europe's most sought-after young talents, admitted he had several attractive offers on the table but ultimately felt Old Trafford was the perfect place to continue his development.
A Dream Come True
'Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for any young footballer,' Sesko revealed. 'The history, the fans, and the project being built here made it an opportunity I couldn't turn down.'
The towering forward, who stands at an impressive 6'4", has drawn comparisons to Manchester City's Erling Haaland for his physical attributes and eye for goal.
Turning Down Other Suitors
While Sesko didn't name specific clubs, sources suggest both Chelsea and Bayern Munich were strongly interested in securing his signature. 'There were good options elsewhere,' he admitted, 'but United's vision for my role in the team and their long-term planning really stood out.'
United's new sporting director played a key role in negotiations, convincing Sesko that he would be given time to adapt to Premier League football while competing for starting opportunities.
Adapting to English Football
The young Slovenian acknowledges the challenges ahead: 'The Premier League is the most competitive in the world, but I'm ready to work hard and prove I belong here.'
Fans will be hoping Sesko can replicate his impressive form from RB Salzburg, where he scored 16 goals in 30 appearances last season before making the switch to Germany.
With United's pre-season tour underway, all eyes will be on how quickly the prodigious talent can settle into Erik ten Hag's system and make his mark in English football.
