Benjamin Sesko instantly caught the eye of Manchester United fans after what the ex-RB Leipzig striker did during his first training session at the Premier League club.
The 22-year-old Slovenian forward has become the latest high-profile acquisition for Ruben Amorim after the Red Devils beat Newcastle in the race to sign him.
Benjamin Sesko had been linked with Manchester United and the club wasted no time tabling their first – and only – bid for the former RB Leipzig striker last week.
The Red Devils agreed an initial fee of £66.3m for the Slovenia international and United confirmed the signing of Sesko on Saturday ahead of the Fiorentina match.
Sesko took to the pitch at Old Trafford on Saturday and the Red Devils summer signing was unveiled to the United fans ahead of the last pre-season friendly.
Benjamin Sesko showed off his powerful trait to Man Utd fans in his first training session under Ruben Amorim
Benjamin Sesko had already reported for Manchester United first-team training at the Carrington complex on Sunday only a day after his arrival at Old Trafford.
United wasted no time in sharing photos of the former RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig striker being put through his paces under United manager Ruben Amorim.
One of the standout pictures of Sesko in United training, which caught the eye of Red Devils fans, was the Slovenian forward performing a bullet header on the ball.
An X user wrote: “Premier League ‘keeper’s nightmare.”
“Haven’t seen a diving header since [Edinson] Cavani,” another United fan tweeted.
A third Red Devils supporter posted: “Sesko makes headers look easy, imagine sending last-minute crosses from [Bryan] Mbeumo.”
While a fourth added: “Poetry in motion, isn’t it? Sesko header.”
“I already know that cross is from Mbeumo,” somebody else claimed.
Another simply said: “Air Sesko incoming.”
A seventh United supporter asked: “Am [I] seeing [Robin] van Persie?”
“Beast mode, pray for his success,” an eighth commented.
Could Benjamin Sesko make his Man Utd debut this weekend against Premier League side Arsenal?
It remains unclear whether United manager Amorim will thrust former RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig ace Sesko into the Red Devils starting XI against Arsenal.
Sesko has not had a pre-season with the Red Devils due to his late summer move and the Slovenia attacker only took part in his first training session today.
Amorim shook up his tactical system on the weekend after Mason Mount was deployed in a false nine-esque role in the penalty shootout win over Fiorentina.
Amorim could likely start Sesko on the bench for the Premier League opener at Old Trafford on Sunday before turning to his new signing during the match vs Arsenal.
However, it equally can’t be ruled out that the Slovenia international is immediately in the United frontline alongside Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo this weekend.
