Key strength: Link-up play
Target man
As Manchester United surge into third place on a commanding WWDWW run, their €60 million summer gamble on Benjamin Šeško is paying spectacular dividends. The 23-year-old Slovenian has already seen his market value climb to €75 million, establishing himself as Old Trafford's attacking spearhead. Ten goals from 31 appearances tell only part of the story. Šeško's ruthless efficiency—a strike every 169 minutes—showcases the clinical finishing that persuaded United to lure him from RB Leipzig. His unique profile as a modern target man, combining 6'4" physicality with surprising 71-pace mobility, has tormented Premier League defenders all season. Operating in the number 30 shirt, Šeško has outshone attacking colleagues Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee through more than just goal-scoring. His link-up play provides the aerial focal point United's attack has craved, while remarkable discipline—just two yellow cards across nearly 1,800 minutes—belies his combative presence. With Champions League football firmly within reach, this clinical Slovenian looks destined to lead the Red Devils' line for the next decade.
