Manchester United secured his fourth summer signature at Benjamin Sesco, and Slovenia International will be given his favorite shirt number after joining from Red Bull Leipzig for £74 million
New Manchester United Signature Benjamin Sesco may be handed his preferred No. 30 shirt at Old Trafford…
United eventually sealed the much-anticipated move for Slovenia International after agreeing to a £74 million deal with RB Leipzig and defeating Newcastle in a race of his signature. He is United’s fourth summer signature, with Big MoneyBys approved for Mashwas Kuña for £62.5 million and Brian Mbeumo for around £71 million. Young’s left-back Diego Leon also arrived on a deal worth £7 million.
And thanks to his younger left back, Sesco might be handed the number 30 shirt he wore in Leipzig.

The 18-year-old Leon signed the mate, initially handed over a number 30 shirt during the preseason, wearing it when he featured on the side of Reuben Amorim. But he now switched to number 35.
That decision clears Sesco’s path, introduced to fans at Old Trafford on Saturday.
When asked why he chose to sign United despite his competition with Newcastle, who plays in the Champions League this season, Sesco said he is excited about the club’s future under manager Reuben Amorim.
“Manchester United history is clearly very special, but what really excites me is the future,” he said. “When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything was in place for this team to continue to grow and quickly continue to compete for the biggest trophies again.
“From the moment I arrived I could feel the positive energy and family environment the club created, which is clearly the perfect place to reach my maximum level and fulfill all my ambitions.
“I can’t wait to learn from Reuben and start connecting with my teammates and achieve the success that we can all be with.”
