Born in Radeče, Slovenia, he grew up in a football family but refused to play in goal like his dad — instead, he wanted to score goals, not save them. From smashing in wonder strikes as a kid, to scoring 59 goals in just 23 games as a teenager, to making history with Slovenia's national team, Šeško's rise has been nothing short of incredible. This episode of Football For Kids takes you through his inspiring journey: from Red Bull Salzburg to RB Leipzig, to breaking Bundesliga records, and now stepping out at Old Trafford as Manchester United's new striker. ⚽
