Benjamin Šeško Opens His Premier League Account for United
Brentford 2–1 Manchester United
⚽ 26’ Benjamin Šeško
In the middle of a chaotic afternoon at the Gtech Community Stadium, Benjamin Šeško delivered a personal milestone — his first Premier League goal for Manchester United.
Trailing 2–0 after a disastrous start, United desperately needed a spark. It came in the 26th minute when Mason Mount’s driving run forced a save from Mark Flekken. The Brentford keeper could only parry, and Šeško reacted quickest, pouncing on the loose ball to smash home from close range.
The Slovenian striker’s celebration was brief but passionate, a clenched-fist roar to the travelling fans who had been silenced by Igor Thiago and Kevin Schade’s early strikes. For Šeško, the goal marked the beginning of his Premier League account — a reminder of why United invested in him as part of Ruben Amorim’s rebuild.
Though United couldn’t find an equaliser and eventually fell 2–1, Šeško’s breakthrough was a silver lining. His instinctive finish showcased his striker’s instinct and offered a glimpse of the cutting edge United hope to build around.
For the young forward, this was more than a consolation. It was a statement: Benjamin Šeško has arrived in the Premier League.
