Manchester United have been told that they have hit the jackpot with the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig in a whopping £74 million ($100m) deal, as the Slovenia international can become a "complete striker" at Old Trafford. The Red Devils, however, will need to be patient with their new forward, who needs time to realise his full potential.

Sesko has had an underwhelming start to his journey in England as he is yet to feature in Ruben Amorim's starting line-up in the Premier League. However, the former RB Leipzig forward did star in Slovenia's 2-2 draw against Sweden in a World Cup qualifying game as he contributed with the assist for Zan Vipotnik's late equaliser.

While Sesko has not lived upto the expectations at Old Trafford yet after the first three rounds of Premier League games, his national team strike partner and former Middlesbrough star Andraz Sporar has backed the 22-year-old to be a hit at Old Trafford and be a "complete striker".
WHAT SPORAR SAID
The 31-year-old spoke highly of his compatriot as he told reporters: "What does he bring to United? Everything. He has speed, power, intelligence, good football IQ. I believe he can be a complete striker in the next two or three years. But he’s still young. He will help Manchester United a lot, they just need to be patient. I believe he’ll score the goals and every year he will be better and better."
AFPWHAT NEXT FOR SESKO?
The Red Devils striker will be back in action for Slovenia on Monday as they take on Switzerland in their second World Cup qualifying game. Next Sunday, he is expected to be handed his maiden Premier League start in the Manchester derby.
