Benjamin Sesko<\/a> came alive in 2026, shaking off a muted start to his Manchester United<\/a> career to emerge as a real game-changer under Michael Carrick<\/a>‘s watch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ten of the Slovenian’s 12 United goals have come since the turn of the year, or rather, since the exit of Ruben Amorim, the 23-year-old one of many to benefit from the change in the Old Trafford dugout.<\/p>\n

And yet, the \u00a374m man<\/a>‘s place as a regular starter in Carrick’s side still isn’t guaranteed, while injury niggles are also hampering his progress somewhat, having missed the tail end of last season with a shin issue.<\/p>\n

There’s been plenty of promise, but there is a sense that the Red Devils are still waiting for their 6 foot 4 star to truly explode.<\/p>\n

\n Ranking Sesko’s best goals for Man Utd so far<\/strong>

It’s not been the most stellar catalogue of goals for Sesko so far, but the most important thing is finding the back of the net, with the towering striker showcasing a real poacher’s instinct across 2025\/26.<\/p>\n

The former RB Leipzig man notably bundled home against Liverpool in that 3-2 win, while even his first goal for the club wasn’t pretty, as he lashed in against Brentford after a succession of attempts.<\/p>\n

That’s not to say that for all the close-range finishes and scrappy efforts, there haven’t been some standout strikes too, with Sesko’s real ‘wow’ moment coming away at Everton.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the substitute ran almost the length of the field to latch onto Bryan Mbeumo’s pull-back, showcasing a frightening burst of speed and an innate composure to round off a sweeping, vintage United move.<\/p>\n

In the previous outing against West Ham United, Sesko had helped the visitors to snatch a point by producing a delightful, deft flick at the near post, a goal that demonstrated that there is a subtlety to his game, despite all the pace and power.<\/p>\n
