Benjamin Sesko has ended his first season at Manchester United with 12 goals to his name.
The Slovenian got off to a slow start at Old Trafford after completing a £66 million move to Manchester United from RB Leipzig.
But in 2026, Benjamin Sesko has been on a scoring streak and now boasts one of the best goals-to-minutes ratios in the Premier League.
Sesko hit his goal target set by Rio Ferdinand at the start of the season, and he has now picked out his favourite goal of the campaign.

Benjamin Sesko’s favourite goal from 2025/26
Sesko turned 23 years old on Sunday, and to celebrate, United posted quickfire questions with the striker.
One of the questions asked Sesko which of his goals is his favourite so far, and he replied: “I think it was against West Ham.
“That was a really difficult one.”
Sesko is referencing his goal in the 1-1 draw against West Ham back in February, when he scored a dramatic equaliser in stoppage time.
Sesko beat his defender to the front post and brilliantly connected with Bryan Mbeumo’s cross to rescue a point in the capital.
It was Sesko’s sixth goal of the season, and by his account, his best.

Benjamin Sesko’s stunning goal against West Ham
At the time of the West Ham game, Sesko was not a starter under Michael Carrick, and he was fighting to regain his spot in the XI.
Sesko had already scored a dramatic winner against Fulham a few weeks earlier, and he came off the bench to be United’s hero again at the London Stadium.
Owen Hargreaves praised Sesko’s ‘instinctive’ finish after the full-time whistle.
“It just shows you how instinctive footballers are. The timing and the feeling of it was executed beautifully,” Hargreaves said.
It was somewhat of a turning point for Sesko’s season, as he went on a scoring streak by netting against Everton and Crystal Palace in the following matches.
