As the Manchester Derby loomed, Benjamin Šeško found himself in the spotlight with bold predictions about his future at Manchester United. The young forward, who joined the Red Devils from RB Leipzig this summer, has been compared to Manchester City’s star striker, Erling Haaland. Despite only starting one game under manager Ruben Amorim, Šeško is believed to have the potential to reach the same heights as Haaland.
Aufhaser said: “Erling Haaland, I will rate him 10 out of 10. I think Erling is [an] outstanding striker and Benji [Šeško], I think at the moment maybe he’s a nine, nine-and-a-half out of 10. And he has potential. He will develop in the next one and two years, I’m sure. Erling reached his mark after his transfer from Dortmund to Man City and we will see. I am quite sure Benji will reach this mark after one or two years. But, of course, Erling is the top.”
Šeško said: “My team-mates at the club tell me that Haaland and I are very similar, especially in terms of speed. They do not represent pressure. I will listen and learn, so I can be even better than he is.”
Andraz Sporar said: “What does he bring to United? Everything. He has speed, power, intelligence, good football IQ. But he’s still young. He will help Manchester United a lot, they just need to be patient.”
Šeško’s journey at Manchester United has been closely watched, with many drawing parallels to Haaland’s trajectory. Although he has yet to make a significant impact in his three Premier League appearances off the bench, his potential remains undeniable. His international record, boasting 16 goals in 43 appearances for Slovenia, further underscores his capabilities, despite recent challenges in matches against Sweden and Switzerland.
The confidence expressed by his teammates and experts suggests that patience will be key for Manchester United as they nurture Šeško’s talent. With his speed, power, and football intelligence, he is expected to become a vital asset for the team in the coming years. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Šeško to see if he can indeed rise to the occasion and fulfill the high expectations set for him.
