Manchester United Emerges as Arsenal’s Biggest Threat in the Race for Šeško

Every transfer window brings a fresh wave of drama — but some stories stand out more than others. Right now, one name has quietly become the talk of the Premier League’s biggest clubs: Benjamin Šeško.

While Arsenal fans have been dreaming about the young Slovenian striker leading their attack next season, there’s a red shadow looming large over the deal — and it wears a Manchester United badge.

The Rising Star Everyone Wants

Šeško isn’t just another prospect. At just 20, he’s already showing signs of being a future star. With pace, presence, and a striker’s instinct, he's been tearing it up in the Bundesliga. He has that rare mix of physical dominance and technical flair — something that reminds people of a young Haaland.

Naturally, a player like that doesn’t stay under the radar for long. Arsenal have been closely monitoring him, viewing him as a long-term No.9 solution — someone who could grow into their system and become a lethal weapon alongside Saka and Martinelli.

Enter Manchester United

But just as Arsenal fans were starting to get excited, Manchester United have entered the scene. And if there’s one thing we know about United, it’s that when they want someone — they go all in.

United are in desperate need of a proper striker. Yes, Rasmus Højlund has shown glimpses of potential, but the Red Devils want competition, depth, and someone who can challenge at the top level for years to come. Šeško fits the profile perfectly.

Plus, Erik ten Hag reportedly sees him as a project — a raw talent he can mold, much like he did with younger players at Ajax.

The Real Battle: Wages, Promises & Projects

Let’s be honest — both Arsenal and United can afford the transfer fee. The real fight comes down to:

• Who offers the better footballing project?

• Where does Šeško see more playing time?

• Who gives him the best platform to grow?

At Arsenal, he’d be competing with Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah — but the team’s style suits his game.

At United, he’d be part of a rebuilding project, but he’d have the spotlight.

And then there's the agent factor, the wages, and of course, the lure of being part of a historic club.

What Should Šeško Do?

From a footballing point of view, Arsenal might make more sense. Mikel Arteta is building something special — a young, vibrant squad, with a clear identity and Champions League ambitions. Šeško could thrive in that environment.

But Manchester United offer legacy, global reach, and a shot at being a hero during a revival. For some players, that’s impossible to resist.

Final Whistle

One thing’s clear — the race for Benjamin Šeško is heating up, and it’s turning into a classic Arsenal vs Manchester United showdown. Both clubs need him. Both clubs want him. But only one will land him.

Where do you think Šeško should go?
