Benjamin Sesko's Scoring Streak: A Comparative Analysis with His Previous Clubs
Benjamin Sesko, the Slovenian forward, is currently in exceptional form for Manchester United, scoring seven goals in the last eight matches, including six league goals and one FA Cup goal. This impressive run has silenced his critics and showcased his potential. But how does this compare to his best scoring streaks at his previous clubs?
Sesko's Best Scoring Streaks:
- 2025/26: 7 goals in 8 games (Total goals: 9)
- 2024/25: 5 goals in 5 games (Total goals: 21)
- 2023/24: 7 goals in 7 games (Total goals: 18)
- 2022/23: 10 goals in 10 games (Total goals: 18)
- 2021/22: No notable streak (Total goals: 11)
- 2020/21: 13 goals in 6 games (Total goals: 21)
Sesko's current streak is the fourth-best in his career, with a more impressive 7 goals in 7 games for RB Leipzig two seasons ago. At Red Bull Salzburg, he had a 10-goal streak in 10 games during the 2022/23 season.
His most remarkable streak came during the 2020/21 season while on loan at FC Liefering, where he scored 13 goals in just six matches, including a hat-trick and a four-goal haul. This was a testament to his exceptional talent, even as a teenager in Austria's second tier.
United Coaches' Role:
Sesko's emergence at Manchester United is a result of the coaching staff's efforts, particularly under Michael Carrick. They have helped him build fitness and adapt to the Premier League's pace, allowing him to showcase his potential.
Sustainable Scoring:
Sesko's current form and scoring history suggest that his goalscoring is sustainable and repeatable. This is in contrast to Rasmus Hojlund, who had a similar streak for Manchester United in 2023/24 but struggled to maintain it, going 21 consecutive matches without a goal in the 2024/25 season.
Sesko's track record indicates that his scoring is both inevitable and consistent, making him a reliable force in front of goal for Manchester United.
