Benjamin Sesko leads the way with impressive PL stat no other player can match

Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko stands alone as he dominates a brilliant statistic that no other player can match at the moment. Terrific form Although Sesko endured a somewhat slow start to life following his move from RB Leipzig last summer, he has truly grown into his role over the past few months. He had found the back of the net just twice in 15 appearances before the turn of the year. Michael Carrick’s arrival as Ruben Amorim’s temporary replacement coincided with a significant uptick in form for the Slovenian. He has scored seven times under Carrick, with some of his goals proving very crucial for United. Sesko bagged his 11th Premier League goal of the campaign on Sunday to help United to a 3-2 victory over bitter rivals Liverpool. It was a real striker’s goal as well. Freddie Woodman parried a Bruno Fernandes header into his thigh and Sesko was all too happy to bundle it home from close range. The 22-year-old is quieting his doubters, and considering how young he is, there are still several levels he can climb. Statman Dave has unearthed a staggering Sesko stat, demonstrating just how clinical the forward has been in front of goal. Super Sesko According to Statman Dave, Sesko has scored a Premier League goal every 86 minutes since the new year. This represents the best return rate of any player who has found the back of the net at least five times. Benjamin Šeško has scored a Premier League goal every 86 minutes on average this year. That’s the best rate of any player to have scored 5+. Huge output in 2026. 👏 pic.twitter.com/e2TLaGqBlx — Statman Dave (@StatmanDave) May 5, 2026 Sesko and his teammates return to action on Saturday when they go away to Sunderland. With Champions League football already secured, United’s attention is now set to start shifting towards the summer transfer window. As uncertainty continues to engulf the future of Joshua Zirkzee, United may need to dip into the market for another striker to ensure Sesko is not solely burdened with the task of leading the line next term. Zirkzee continues to be strongly linked with a return to Serie A amidst his struggle for playing time.
