Why I Chose Man United Over Others – Sesko

Benjamin Sesko has opened up on why he turned down offers from Arsenal and Newcastle United to sign for Manchester United.

The 22-year-old’s move to Old Trafford was officially confirmed on Saturday, ending weeks of speculation over his future.

Sesko, who was widely reported to be Mikel Arteta’s top striker target earlier this summer, saw a potential transfer to Arsenal collapse. Newcastle United also made a late approach after it seemed likely he would remain with his Bundesliga club.

Instead, the Slovenian international penned a contract with United until June 2030, citing the club’s long-term vision as a decisive factor.

“The history of Manchester United is obviously very special but what really excites me is the future,” Sesko said.

“When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything is in place for this team to continue to grow and compete for the biggest trophies again soon.”
