Manchester United are about to welcome a powerful new striker, Benjamin Sesko, after reaching a £74 million agreement with RB Leipzig. But while the young star is excited to wear the famous red shirt, his life at Old Trafford might be very different from what he expected.
Sesko, who is only 22 years old, has chosen Manchester United over other clubs like Newcastle United. Reports say that talks between United and Leipzig resumed on Thursday, and a deal could be completed very soon.
However, Sesko will face some surprising changes under Manchester United’s current manager, Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese coach, who replaced Erik ten Hag last November, is known for his strict style and clear expectations.
Since joining United, Amorim has made it clear that discipline, focus, and fitness are key. He wasted no time making changes to how things work at the club. And for new players like Sesko, adapting quickly will be essential.

One of the first things Amorim did was ban complicated instructions during training. He believes that simplicity leads to better performance. Only simple, clear messages are allowed to be passed from coaches to players.
This means Sesko will need to learn fast, but without being overwhelmed by too many tactics at once. Amorim wants his players to play with freedom, but within a clear, structured system.
Another major rule is that international breaks are no longer treated as holiday time. In the past, some players like Marcus Rashford and Casemiro were seen taking trips to the U.S. after missing their national team call-ups. Amorim has completely stopped this.
He explained, “It’s my decision if they can rest for five days or three days, but you cannot fly. We as a club must set the standards.” This will likely affect how Sesko and others plan their off-days in the future.
Matchday habits have also changed. Amorim has banned food in the dressing room before and after games. He believes physical fitness begins with discipline off the pitch, and the dressing room should be focused only on the game.
Perhaps the most unusual rule is what happens during training. When players lose in training matches, they are now required to clean up and pack the equipment. It might sound small, but this rule is meant to teach humility and teamwork.
These new rules might surprise someone like Sesko, who comes from a different club culture in Germany. But according to those already at the club, the changes are having an impact.
Diogo Dalot, a defender for both United and Portugal, says Amorim’s approach is strict but necessary. “If you want to be in Manchester United, you need to match some standards,” he said. “If you can’t match them, it’s not a place for you.”
Under Amorim, Manchester United is trying to recover from a painful season. Last year, they finished 15th in the Premier League, one of their worst finishes in history.
But signs of improvement are already visible. During their summer pre-season, they held newly-promoted Leeds United to a 0-0 draw. Then, they traveled to the U.S. for their Premier League Summer Series tour.
There, they picked up a 2-1 win over West Ham, a strong 4-1 win over Bournemouth, and a 2-2 draw against Everton. These results suggest that Amorim’s methods are working — and players are starting to respond.
The team is now preparing for a big match at Old Trafford against Fiorentina this Saturday. It will be one of the last chances for Sesko to show what he can do before the Premier League kicks off.
Manchester United’s first league match will be on August 17, against Arsenal, one of the strongest teams in England. Fans hope that Sesko will be ready, and that Amorim’s tough-love rules will lead to a powerful new era for the club.
As the deal gets closer, supporters around the world are buzzing with excitement. Sesko’s strength, speed, and scoring power could be exactly what the Red Devils need.
But now the question is: Can Benjamin Sesko handle Amorim’s new system? Will he shine under pressure? Or will the rules be too much?
One thing is certain: life at Manchester United will not be easy. But if Sesko adapts, he could become one of the club’s biggest stars in years.
Let the new chapter begin.
