Accordingly, the £ 74 million striker will put on the shirt he used to wear at Salzburg and RB Leipzig.
In a recent notice on the club homepage, MU has confirmed striker Benjamin Sesko will wear the number 30 shirt after joining RB Leipzig.
The 22 -year -old used to wear this shirt while in Salzburg and Leipzig and will continue to do so at Old Trafford. However, this choice forced rookie Diego Leon to switch to the number 35 shirt.
Benjamin Sesko will wear the number 30 at MU. |
Sesko, who was recruited by Man Utd for a fee of 74 million pounds, had 166 appearances and scored 68 goals in his career when wearing 30. The selection of this familiar shirt showed the wishes of rookie MU in continuing the existing successes.
There are not many outstanding players of United wearing shirt number 30 in recent years. The last player played No. 30 was the Nathan Bishop goalkeeper, who left the club in 2023. Previously, these shirts were worn by Matteo Darmian, Guillermo Varela and Ritchie de Laet.
Although the list of people who used to wear the number 30 at United is not too prominent, Benjamin Sesko will still be under a significant pressure to prove himself, because the “Red Devils” had to spend a huge amount of 74 million pounds ($ 100 million) to the Slovenia player – who scored 21 goals in all arenas for Leipzig last season.
