Benjamin Sesko chant: Lyrics, tune and story behind Man Utd’s song for their new striker

Benjamin Sesko has had a relatively slow start to his Manchester United career, but there is firm belief within the club that the former RB Leipzig man will turn out to be a shrewd acquisition.

Sesko scored his first goal for the club away at Brentford back in September 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.

For more information on the lyrics, tune, and story behind the Benjamin Sesko chant, we have you covered.

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 reality is, though, nobody has yet to come up with any alternatives, so for now, this is the chant that will be associated with the player.

For now, the job is for the player to start scoring goals on a regular basis, at which point, the Man Utd faithful will simply have to come up with something better for him.

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.
