Manchester United have confirmed on the club’s official website that Benjamin Sesko is the Red Devils Player of the Month for February 2026.
It belongs to the attacker first monthly reward since arriving at Old Trafford in the summer. This just shows how quickly his influence is growing.
Super sub Sesko
Furthermore, the 22-year-old did not start any of United’s four Premier League matches during the month, making his performance even more impressive.
Furthermore, the Slovenian international has found the net in three of those games, which also highlights how he has had such a huge impact despite limited minutes.
Furthermore, two of those finishes proved crucial as the former RB Leipzig man scored winners against Fulham and Everton respectively.
The frenzy of fans creates a double honor
The striker also scored a dramatic stoppage-time equalizer against West Ham United. The instinctive late strike at the London Stadium earned him the club’s Goal of the Month award also for February.
Sesko led the vote 61 percent in a fan poll run via the United App and ManUtd.com.
Senne Lammens finished second with 33 percent. Remarkably, the Belgium international put on a Man of the Match display at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday.
Harry Maguire came third with six percent. In recent weeks, the England international has also looked more consistent and authoritative at the back.
The update also cements Sesko’s place in the club’s recent history. After all, he is the first traditional number nine to receive the prize since then Rasmus Hojlund in February 2024.
Meanwhile, current interim head coach Michael Carrick added that Sesko “has been so good in so many ways.” This further illustrates the former Red Bull Salzburg man’s attitude, patience and continuous improvement behind the scenes.
With March drawing ever closer, Sesko will be hoping to carry this progress and momentum into Sunday’s Old Trafford meeting at Old Trafford with Crystal Palace and beyond.
