Benjamin Sesko (age 23) is a Slovenia striker who has already moved through the Red Bull system, built a scoring record in Austria and now finds himself at Manchester United. A towering centre-forward at 6ft 5in (1.95m), he came to wider notice at FC Liefering, where his most productive league season brought 20 goals in 29 appearances in 2020-21.
That spell established the shape of him early enough – a young striker with size, presence and a proper eye for goal rather than a project dressed up as one. His current market value is around £42.5 million, according to Transfermarkt.
He is now with Manchester United, where his start to 2026-27 has been tidy enough. He has made four Premier League appearances and scored once, with further goals in the FA Cup and Champions League, giving him three goals in six matches across all competitions.
At international level he has also been involved for Slovenia this season, making four appearances in World Cup qualifying.
Sesko’s career so far has been a steady climb from Austrian development football into the higher end of the game. He remains a young striker with a fair amount still to prove, but the scoring record and the profile are clear enough.
