Sesko’s squad number confirmed

Benjamin Sesko will wear the no.30 shirt for Manchester United, it can be revealed.

The Slovenia international sealed his move to Old Trafford on Saturday, signing from RB Leipzig on a contract until June 2030.

Sesko, our fourth senior incoming of the summer, was introduced to the home faithful before the Snapdragon Cup match against Fiorentina after Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon and Bryan Mbeumo had also taken their bows.

Cunha (no.10) and Mbeumo (no.19) have already been given their numbers, while Leon has now changed to no.35, following Sesko’s arrival.

Leon sported the no.30 during each of his pre-season appearances, while the jersey has previously been worn by the likes of Wes Brown and John O’Shea.

Our new striker carries the number over from his two previous clubs, RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg, where it adorned his back for 166 appearances, during which he scored 68 times.

He has also had the no.21 shirt, for loan club FC Liefering, and tends to don the no.11 for his national side.

Sesko has been explaining why he turned down other clubs to join United. 

“I think, first of all, because of the club,” he said. “It’s just a historical club that is unbelievable.

“For me, the team is great. It is getting better and better and that’s why also there is just stuff that makes you come there, gives you this energy that you want to be part of.

“I think it’s a great project, in general, and I can’t wait to start, definitely.”

Benjamin’s first interview as a United player is available to watch in full now.
