Manchester United Unveil Benjamin Sesko in €85 Million Transfer from RB Leipzig

Manchester United officially unveiled Benjamin Sesko as their new signing during their final pre-season match against Fiorentina at Old Trafford, following his €85 million transfer from RB Leipzig on a five-year contract. Sesko, who arrived in the UK to complete medicals, joined fellow summer signings Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Diego León as part of manager Ruben Amorim's revamped attacking lineup aiming to secure Champions League qualification. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with United winning 5-4 on penalties, and saw David De Gea honored in a presentation for his long service to the club before his 2023 departure. Sesko watched the match from the stands after being introduced to fans on the pitch, signaling high expectations for his role in the team. United's strategy this season includes integrating Sesko and other new players under Amorim's leadership, with the club investing heavily to strengthen their squad ahead of the Premier League campaign. The presentation of Sesko and De Gea underscored both the club's forward-looking ambitions and respect for its recent history.
