Manchester United’s new signing, Benjamin Sesko, said he wants to emulate his idol Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The former Swedish forward scored 29 goals and registered 10 assists in 53 appearances in all competitions while playing for Manchester United.
On the other hand, Sesko has signed a deal worth €85 million ($98.8m) from RB Leipzig. Sesko scored 21 goals in 45 appearances for Leipzig in all competitions last year, and he would look to carry the same form for Ruben Amorim’s team.
“Since I’ve been small I’ve been watching him. Every single YouTube video that I can find because he’s amazing for me,” Sesko told MUTV.
“We don’t have the same character, but I like to see the way he plays, the way he enjoys football, how everything works. It has been my dream to one day meet him, that would be great, so in general, he’s my idol.
“We have a different playing style, but if there is any situation, I try to do the same as he did.”
The Slovenian international revealed he admired former Manchester United strikers like Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney.
“Van Persie and Rooney, all those kind of guys,” Sesko said. “I’ve also been watching them, of course, on the videos. They have been great.
“You can admire them a lot and I will also try to show myself in a good light here and try to help the team and the club to be as high as possible.”
Players like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have also joined United and Sesko reckons the team is getting better and better.
“For me the team is great, it’s getting better and better,” Sesko said. “I think it’s just a great project in general and I can’t wait to start, definitely.
“Together, you can grow a lot. It can give you a lot of fresh power, fresh energy and I think it’s going to be exciting in general.”
“Just that we get better, that we connect together in general and as a team try to grow and grow together, step by step.
“It’s just a matter of time when we can fly high again.”
