It is a big hint that Sesko will take his favourite No30 and X account called UtdDistrict said: “Diego Leon has changed to No. 35. No. 30 for Benjamin Šeško?”
The post has already attracted 1.5k likes ahead of United’s friendly with Fiorentina at Old Trafford.
When previously asked about the number, Sesko said: “All those small numbers like 9, 11, 7 were already used in Salzburg in the first team so I took 30.
“At this point I was like I want to take Erling’s number so basically that’s the only reason but now I kind of like it and it’s special.”

The Red Devils announced today that Sesko, 22, has joined on five-year deal from German club RB Leipzig in a move worth up to £74m.
The striker had been subject to interest from across Europe throughout the window, including heavy links to Arsenal before their swoop for Viktor Gyokeres.
But it was Man Utd and Newcastle who started a bidding war for the Slovenian, who ultimately opted for a switch to Old Trafford over Champions League football at St James’ Park.
Opening up on the lure of the Theatre of Dreams, Sesko said upon signing: “The history of Manchester United is obviously very special
but what really excites me is the future.
“When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything is in place for this team to continue to grow and compete for the biggest trophies again soon.
“From the moment that I arrived, I could feel the positive energy and family environment that the club has created. It is clearly the perfect place to reach my maximum level and fulfil all of my ambitions.
“I cannot wait to start learning from Ruben [Amorim] and connecting with my team-mates to achieve the success that we all know we are capable of together.”
Sesko flourished in the Bundesliga last season, scoring 13 goals and registering five assists in 33 appearances.
He joins fellow summer arrivals Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in Ruben Amorim‘s new-look attack for the upcoming season as the United boss tries to improve on last term’s turgid campaign.
