Manuel Benson

Manuel Benson, a name that has begun to resonate within the realms of English football, has already carved out an impressive path in his burgeoning career. Born on 27th April 1996, in Antwerp, Belgium, he began his footballing journey at the youth academies of Beerschot before making his way to the UK where he has made his mark at various clubs.

Benson’s professional career took flight in 2015 with the youth system of KRC Genk, although it wasn’t long before he sought opportunities abroad. He joined the English club Brentford in 2017, where he initially played for their B Team. His time at Brentford was crucial, as it helped hone his skills before making the significant step up into senior football. In 2019, he signed on loan with Basingstoke Town, marking the start of a series of loan moves that would shape him as a player. His time with clubs such as Basingstoke Town and Chesterfield saw him amass vital first-team experience, showcasing his rapid development as a winger with a keen eye for goal.

In 2021, Benson made a notable move to the Scottish side, St. Johnstone, and his performances there caught the eyes of scouts across Europe. His ability to deliver electrifying performances and create opportunities for his teammates rendered him a fan favourite, particularly for his flair and creativity on the pitch. Notably, during his time at St. Johnstone, he played a pivotal role in their 2020–21 Scottish Cup triumph, providing crucial assists and consistently troubling opposing defences with his pace and skill.

In 2022, Benson made a significant transfer to Burnley, where he quickly integrated into the squad. His contributions were vital as the team sought to solidify its position in the upper echelons of the Championship. As a player who is comfortable both cutting inside and heading down the flanks, Benson’s versatility adds depth to any squad he is part of.
