Man Utd new boy Benjamin Sesko hoping to emulate his idol Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Manchester United’s latest signing Benjamin Sesko is hoping to emulate his idol Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the club’s famous shirt.

Slovenia international Sesko completed his move to Old Trafford from RB Leipzig at the weekend in a deal worth up to £73.7million.

The 22-year-old revealed in his first interview on MUTV that former United striker Ibrahimovic, who spent almost two years at Old Trafford until 2018, was his hero.

Sesko said: “Since I’ve been small I’ve been watching him. Every single YouTube video that I can find because he’s amazing for me.

“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.”
