Manchester United’s pre-season buzz shows no sign of slowing down, with the club’s transfer activity dominating headlines.
Ruben Amorim’s side have been busy fine-tuning tactics ahead of the new campaign, balancing training-ground preparations with off-field excitement generated by fresh arrivals.
Supporters have been flocking to social media to track every move, every post, and every hint of what’s to come from their new-look squad.
The transfer window has already delivered moments that set social media alight, from dramatic unveiling videos to training clips showcasing the talent United have secured.
In the modern game, players are judged not only on their performance on the pitch but also on their ability to connect with fans worldwide.
This connection has become an integral part of a footballer’s brand, and at Old Trafford, the spotlight is brighter than almost anywhere else.
One player who has felt that spotlight in full force is Benjamin Sesko.
Benjamin Sesko, who recently completed his move to United, has experienced a meteoric rise in online popularity before even making his competitive debut.
Just days ago, Sesko’s Instagram following sat at under 500,000 — impressive, but modest compared to some of football’s global stars.
Since putting pen to paper at Old Trafford, however, that number has doubled to an extraordinary one million followers, making him only the second Slovenian footballer to cross the million mark on Instagram, as revealed by Sport Bible via Instagram.
The only other player from his nation to achieve the feat is Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who currently boasts 1.7 million followers.
Sesko’s rapid social media surge emphasises the sheer global reach of Manchester United.
Joining the club doesn’t just mean competing for silverware; it means stepping into an arena where every action is amplified to millions around the world.
United’s fanbase stretches across continents, and Sesko’s new-found popularity is proof of the instant recognition that comes with wearing the famous red shirt.
As the striker settles into life at Carrington and prepares for his first competitive appearance, the excitement around him is only set to grow.
If his impact off the pitch is anything to go by, the anticipation for what he can deliver on it will be immense.
