Manchester United's Firm Stance on Benjamin Šeško
As reported by journalist Graeme Bailey, Manchester United responded immediately to the three suitors following inquiries received at the club's offices. The board has positioned the 23-year-old forward as a cornerstone of its long-term sporting project after his transfer in August 2025.
Bayern Munich had included the Slovenian international in their plans as a replacement for Harry Kane, while FC Barcelona and Tottenham were considering his signing to bolster their respective frontlines. Nevertheless, Manchester United closed the door on any formal negotiations to prevent losing their offensive reference.
The Forward's Commitment to Michael Carrick
According to TEAMtalk, the player's entourage has also shown no intention of seeking an exit from Old Trafford this summer. The 23-year-old, with 45 caps and 16 goals for the Slovenian national team, believes that the coaching staff led by Michael Carrick provides the right structure for his professional development.
The attacker's lack of interest in switching teams solidifies the English board's position amid European market pressure. With no intention on either side for a transfer, interested clubs will need to focus their resources on other attacking alternatives.
Manchester United's board will maintain its unwavering stance during the final stretch of the August market. With Manchester United's refusal and Benjamin Šeško's rejection, Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona, and Tottenham Hotspur will seek new options in the international market before the summer window closes.
