Manchester United Unveil £74m Benjamin Sesko to 65,000 Fans at Old Trafford

Manchester United officially welcomed new striker Benjamin Sesko, who joined from RB Leipzig in a deal worth up to £73.7 million (€85 million), with a grand unveiling at Old Trafford before their final pre-season friendly against Fiorentina. Sesko, 22, was greeted by a large crowd and posed with fellow summer signings Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, and Bryan Mbeumo, as fans expressed high hopes for his impact on the team. The event also paid tribute to returning goalkeeper David De Gea, who made his first visit back to Old Trafford since leaving the club in 2023, receiving a warm presentation led by captain Bruno Fernandes. During the match, Fiorentina took an early lead before United equalized due to an own goal, and the game ended 1-1 before Fiorentina won on penalties. Sesko expressed excitement about joining a club with a rich history and a promising future under manager Ruben Amorim, who praised Sesko's qualities as fitting the team's needs. The signing is seen as a major boost for United's attacking options ahead of the Premier League season opener against Arsenal.
