Benjamin Sesko: 5 things to know about his girlfriend Anita Vidovic

Manchester United has officially confirmed the signing of Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig in a deal worth a reported €76.5 million, with add-ons. 

The 22-year-old, who has signed a contract until June 2030, is seen as the final piece of the attacking puzzle for manager Ruben Amorim. 

In an official statement on the Manchester United website, Sesko expressed his excitement about the move, stating, "The history of Manchester United is obviously very special but what really excites me is the future."

The arrival of one of Europe’s most coveted young strikers marks a new era at Old Trafford, and with it, a renewed interest in the man himself.

As the excitement surrounding Sesko’s transfer reaches a fever pitch, so too does the public’s curiosity about his personal life.

He is a young man embarking on a monumental new chapter, and by his side for much of the journey has been his girlfriend, Anita Vidovic.

In this article, Pulse Sports details five key things you need to know about the woman who has captured the heart of Manchester United’s new striker.

Anita Vidovic is the girlfriend of Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko.

Unlike many partners of high-profile footballers who are models or influencers, Vidovic has a background in academia.

She is a graduate of the Faculty of Public Administration in Ljubljana, the capital of their native Slovenia.

One of the most widely reported facts about the couple is their age difference.

Anita is five years older than Benjamin Sesko. 

While the new United striker is 22, Anita is 27 years old, according to her Instagram bio. 

However, it’s clear that the age gap has no impact on their strong bond.

While she has a professional background, Anita is also an active presence on social media. 

She frequently posts updates about her relationship with Sesko, sharing intimate photos and videos of their travels and life together. 

Her TikTok account, in particular, has more than 2,000 followers, showcasing the couple's jet-setting lifestyle and romantic gestures. 

However, her Instagram account is restricted.

Anita isn't new to the football world; her brother, Boris Vidovic, is a former footballer who played in the lower leagues of Germany and Poland. 

Boris, 28, has since transitioned from football and The Sun reports he recently contested on ITV2’s reality series Love Island.

From the stands of the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig to what will now be Old Trafford, Anita has been a regular sight, cheering on her partner. 

She has often shared photos of herself in Sesko’s football shirts, celebrating his victories and offering her support during challenging times. 

Her role as a supportive and dedicated partner has been a constant throughout his rise to becoming one of the most sought-after young talents in the world.
