Benjamin Sesko had a relatively slow start to his Manchester United career, but the former RB Leipzig man is now starting to look more at home in the famous red shirt.

Sesko scored his first goal for the club away at Brentford and followed that up by scoring his first Old Trafford goal against Sunderland.

Before all of that, though, the Slovenian forward had already been given his very own Manchester United chant, which was first heard before the opening day of the 2025-26 season when the Red Devils faced Arsenal.

Benjamin Sesko chant lyrics and tune

The Benjamin Sesko chant is sung to the famous British tune of ‘Let's go f***ing mental' and the lyrics are simply as follows:

Sesko f***ing mental

Sesko f***ing mental

Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na

Benjamin Sesko chant background

For context, this isn't a football chant that has yet made it to the stands at Old Trafford or in Man Utd away ends, and it is unlikely to ever do so. Many Man Utd fans have publicly slated the chant on social media, labelling it ‘tin pot', which has likely shut it down before it can grow any bigger.

The job will be for those fans to now come up with something better because if Sesko keeps scoring goals for Man Utd, then he is going to need his own chant.

FGG says: More to come

There has been a decline in the standard of chants produced by Manchester United fans in recent times. Part of that could be to do with the fact that they don't feel any of their players deserve a good chant, while another could be simply a generational change in their support. What they can all agree on, however, is that Benjamin Sesko deserves better than this.
