MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea target Benjamin Sesko scored a sensational volley while on international duty for Slovenia versus Sweden.
The striker peeled off at the back post and was found with a long pass before unleashing a first time left footed volley that lobbed the keeper and went into the back of the net.
Benjamin Sesko scored a Marco van Basten-esque volley
Marco van Basten netted five goals during the tournament in 1988
Marco Van Basten’s iconic goal was scored before he went onto to lift the trophy for the Netherlands
Sesko’s goal has drawn comparison to Dutch legend Marco van Basten’s strike in the Euro 1988 final.
Van Basten’s right footed volley from a tight angle versus the Soviet Union is widely considered one of the greatest goals of all-time.
Fans online also compared the goal to that of another Netherlands striker – Robin van Persie versus Aston Villa in 2013.
Sesko is just 19-years-old but has already attracted the attention of top clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea.
It was reported that United had an eye on him if Cristiano Ronaldo departed Old Trafford over the summer.
The teenager is scoring goals for fun at RB Salzburg and he has already agreed to join RB Leipzig from next year for £55million.
He’s netted four goals this season for the Austrian club and netted 11 in the last campaign in all competitions.
His record on the international stage is as equally impressive scoring four times in 15 appearances.

Sesko netted three times and assisted another in his last three matches for Slovenia helping them retain their League B status in the Nations League.
Slovenia drew 1-1 with Sweden last night with Sesko’s effort enough to relegate the Swedes.
The talented youngster will not have a chance to show his quality at the World Cup as his nation failed to qualify.
