Manchester — It’s only February 2026, but Benjamin Šeško is already stamping his authority on English football.
The Slovenian striker has netted six goals in 2026 alone, taking his tally to eight goals in all competitions in what is turning into a dream debut season at Old Trafford.
Even more impressive? No player has scored more non-penalty Premier League goals than Šeško (5) so far in 2026.
In his first year in the red shirt, Šeško has quickly become a focal point of United’s attack — combining pace, aerial dominance, and clinical finishing.
Five of his six goals in 2026 have come from open play in the Premier League, underlining his ability to deliver when it matters most — without relying on spot kicks.
Fans at the Theatre of Dreams are already chanting his name, as the 22-year-old continues to justify the faith placed in him.
With eight goals across competitions in his debut campaign, Šeško is not just settling in — he’s thriving.
For a striker adapting to the intensity of English football, those numbers speak volumes. And if his current form continues, 2026 could be the year he truly announces himself as one of Europe’s rising attacking forces.
Old Trafford has found a new goal machine — and his name is Benjamin Šeško.
