OFFICIAL UPDATE – Sesko to Manchester United NOT confirmed
Reports circulating today claim that Manchester United have completed a double signing, including a €150 million striker and a goalkeeper, with both players supposedly completing medicals at Carrington.
Benjamin Šeško of RB Leipzig is said to be the striker in question, with further claims that United have reached a personal agreement with him and are preparing to unveil him as their latest summer signing.
However, these reports appear to be highly misleading and factually inaccurate based on all verified and up-to-date sources available as of August 6, 2025.
Fact Check: Benjamin Šeško to Manchester United
Despite heavy speculation, there is no official confirmation from Manchester United, RB Leipzig, or top-tier journalists such as Fabrizio Romano indicating that Šeško has undergone a medical or agreed to a completed transfer.
In fact, earlier this year, Šeško extended his contract with RB Leipzig, publicly stating his commitment to remain at the German club for the 2024/25 season.
At that time, he turned down interest from several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea.
While it’s true that Šeško has been on the radar of top European teams due to his strong performances—scoring 21 goals last season—no deal is close to being finalized.
The suggested fee of €75 million plus €10 million in add-ons has not been reported by any reliable outlet as an active or accepted bid.
Negotiations between clubs are not publicly confirmed, and rumors about shirt numbers and completed medicals are, at this point, premature and speculative.
Incorrect Information About Manchester United’s Management
In addition, claims that Rúben Amorim is now the manager of Manchester United are also false. As of today, Erik ten Hag remains in charge at Old Trafford.
There has been no official announcement or credible media report confirming a change in the coaching position.
Amorim has been linked with the job in the past, but no developments have made this appointment official or imminent.
False Transfer Claims: Cunha and Mbeumo
Furthermore, the suggestion that Manchester United have also signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford is completely unsubstantiated.
Neither player has been officially unveiled, nor have there been significant or trustworthy links to United in this transfer window.
These additions appear to be part of exaggerated claims designed to generate hype among fans.
