Alan Shearer gives brutally honest verdict on Man Utd’s Benjamin Sesko transfer

By staff6 August 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

Newcastle have been looking to land Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig but look to have lost out to Manchester United in what is their latest transfer blow this summer

Alan Shearer concedes it is “disappointing again from Newcastle” if they do lose out on Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United – given the hugely superior season they had in comparison to their rivals.

The Magpies enjoyed a historic year as Eddie Howe led them to their first trophy in more than half a century and also secured a return to the Champions League. Those in Manchester meanwhile endured their worst ever Premier League season, finishing 15th.

Newcastle also enjoyed a dominant double over the Red Devils – securing an aggregate win of 6-1 across the two games – yet their most ambitious summer target looks to have expressed a preference to join United.

Sesko has continued to blossom at RB Leipzig and is viewed among the best young strikers in Europe. Newcastle acted first in an effort to land the Slovenian, who they see as the ideal replacement for Alexander Isak, but the Manchester outfit have now swooped in and look to have won the race.

Shearer is frustrated that another marquee target looks to have passed Newcastle by as they fail to build on one of the club’s great seasons.

He told Betfair: “It sounds as if Benjamin Sesko had two clubs to choose from in Newcastle and Man United. One that won a trophy last year and is now playing Champions League football this season – and one that didn’t win anything, finished 15th and had a dreadful season.

“I understand that Man United are a huge football club, not so much a huge football team at this moment in time. I get it. I understand it. It looks as if, by all accounts, he prefers a move to Man United. It’s disappointing again from Newcastle, another target it looks like they’re going to miss out on and I said it about a week ago, it looks as if it’s been a disastrous window for Newcastle.”

Howe has continued to miss out on key targets which means Newcastle have struggled to strengthen their squad ahead of their second crack at the Champions League. Antony Elanga, signed from Nottingham Forest for £55million, is their only new recruit.

They’ve seen the likes of Joao Pedro, Bryan Mbeumo and James Trafford all head for other clubs despite Newcastle’s interest being well documented. The biggest blow could yet come in the form of Isak’s exit with the Swede informing the club he wants to leave as Liverpool circle.
