Benjamin Sesko, born on 31 May 2003 (age 23), is a Slovenian striker with Manchester United. A towering 6ft 5in (1.95m) centre-forward, he has long carried the obvious physical profile, though that alone rarely settles much at the top end.
His most productive league season came in 2020-21 with FC Liefering, when he scored 20 goals in 29 appearances. That remains the cleanest statistical marker from his early senior career: regular games, regular goals, and enough output to make the attention understandable rather than merely fashionable.
At Manchester United in 2026-27, Sesko has made three appearances in all competitions and scored once. That includes two Premier League appearances and one FA Cup outing, where he found the net. He has also represented Slovenia in European World Cup qualifying this season, making four appearances.
His market value is around £42.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Sesko’s career so far is still a developing one: strong early production in Austria, senior international involvement with Slovenia, and the current test of establishing himself properly in England.
