Manchester United have many exciting attackers at Carrington, but Benjamin Sesko is starting to stand out for more than just his goals.
The young striker’s first season at Old Trafford has not been easy, but those inside the club now believe he is on the right path to success.
Moving to a club the size of Manchester United brings huge pressure, especially for a young forward leading the line. For Sesko, this season has been about learning, adapting, and growing both on and off the pitch.
While the goals have not always flowed, his attitude and work rate are now turning heads behind the scenes.
Tough Start but Signs of Progress
Sesko arrived in England with big expectations. Early in the season, he struggled to make an impact.
United’s system at the time often left him isolated, with very few clear chances created for a natural number nine. This made life difficult for the Slovenian striker, and confidence was hard to build.
Things began to change after Ruben Amorim left the club. Under Darren Fletcher, Sesko showed what he can do, scoring three goals in two games.
That short spell gave him belief and showed fans why United invested in him. His total now stands at five goals in 19 appearances, which may not look massive, but it tells only part of the story.
When Michael Carrick took charge, Sesko was not used in the big win over Manchester City. Some fans questioned the decision, but it was clear it was purely tactical.
The match did not suit a traditional striker, and Carrick later made it clear that
Sesko still has a huge role to play.
Ronaldo-Style Dedication Impresses Club Insiders
What is really exciting United staff is Sesko’s professional mindset. Club insiders say he is one of the most dedicated young players they have ever seen.
Instead of spending time on social media, Sesko has focused on meditation, recovery, and fitness, showing a maturity beyond his years.
He has also built a strong bond with Diogo Dalot, who is known for his elite fitness levels. Dalot’s approach was shaped by Cristiano Ronaldo, and that influence is now rubbing off on Sesko.
The two players are often among the first to arrive at Carrington, sometimes even racing each other to be there early.
They regularly use advanced recovery tools like the hyperbaric chamber, making sure their bodies are always ready.
This kind of commitment is rare, and it shows that Sesko is serious about becoming a top-level striker.
Michael Carrick Key to Sesko’s Development
Michael Carrick is expected to play a massive part in Sesko’s future.
The United boss has spoken highly of the striker’s potential and made it clear he is thinking long term. For Sesko, not being rushed into instant success is actually a positive.
Speaking recently, Sesko praised Carrick’s attention to detail and calm approach.
He said the manager understands him well and works in a very precise way, which suits his own personality. That relationship could be key in helping Sesko settle and improve.
Carrick is likely to use Sesko more against teams who sit deep. His height, strength, and movement could be vital in breaking down low blocks, especially at Old Trafford, where United often dominate the ball.
Why United Fans Should Stay Patient
Manchester United fans have seen many expensive signings struggle in the past.
However, Sesko does not look like another player heading down that road. His mindset, work ethic, and willingness to learn suggest he is building something special.
This season was never about instant stardom. It was about laying foundations.
With the right guidance, more minutes, and growing confidence, Sesko could become a key figure for United in the years ahead.
For now, the signs are positive. Benjamin Sesko is learning, working harder than ever, and showing the mentality needed to succeed at Manchester United. His future looks very bright.
