- Sesko signs for Man Utd
- Reveals who is role model is
- Hopes to take after icon
Following his£74 million ($100m) switch from آر بي لايبزيغ to متحد, Sesko has revealed former Red Devils striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was his childhood idol. The Swede scored 29 goals in 53 appearances for the club and helped them win the كأس كاراباو and the الدوري الأوروبي in 2017. Now, the 22-year-old is eager to emulate the ex-ميلان star at Old Trafford.
He told United’s website: “He’s been my role model since I’ve been small. I’ve been watching him, like every single YouTube video that I can find, because he’s just amazing for me, you know. We don’t have the same, let’s say, character. But I like to see him, the way he plays, the way he enjoys football, because that’s when all the joy comes, you know. If you enjoy football, then everything works. And I think this is the most important. It’s probably also one of the parts that just makes me love him so much, you know what I mean? So maybe one day to meet him, that would be great. He’s my idol.”
Ibrahimovic went on to become one of the greatest strikers of the 21st century, so if Sesko has a career anything like the big Swede, he will have done very well. For the time being, the 6ft 5in player has been tasked with reigniting United’s lukewarm attack as he tries to make them a force again.
Slovenia international Sesko, who signed a contract until 2030 with Ruben Amorim’s team, could make his United debut when they host old adversary أرسنال at Old Trafford on Sunday in their first game of the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز season.
