Manchester United spent roughly £140 million last summer to sign Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Šeško, two of European football’s most coveted attackers. Both players have already crossed the 10-goal mark in the Premier League this season.
Šeško arrived from RB Leipzig in August 2025 in a deal valued at £74 million, with guaranteed payments of £66.3 million plus potential add-ons. Mbeumo’s move from Brentford cost £65 million plus £6 million in add-ons. Matheus Cunha also joined in the same window, giving United three new attacking options who have each netted more than 10 goals this Premier League campaign.
La Liga came knocking, United said no
La Liga clubs made formal transfer inquiries about Šeško as recently as June 2026, and Manchester United flatly rejected them. The 22-year-old Slovenian striker is considered central to the club’s long-term project.
