Benjamin Sesko reveals main challenge of his debut season at Man Utd

Manchester United forward Benjamin Sesko has shared his experiences regarding his debut season following his move to England. The Slovenian striker, who joined the club last summer from RB Leipzig for 76.5 million euros, has identified the primary challenge he faced.

The hardest challenge was adapting to the pace of the Premier League. It is the strongest league, the speed is incredible... With every match, I managed to think and move on the pitch faster and faster. Benjamin Sesko

During the 2025/26 season, the 22-year-old recorded 11 goals and one assist in 30 Premier League appearances.

This matters because adjusting to the intensity of English football is often the biggest hurdle for young arrivals. The high speed and competitive nature of the league require rapid decision-making, which Sesko notes as a central part of his growth since arriving at Old Trafford.
