Amorim declares sesko ready as the young striker set to debut against Arsenal
Following Manchester United’s struggle, last season, to put the ball in the back of the net, they have successfully acquired the service of a goal poacher in Benjamin Sesko.
United will be all out, at home, at Arsenal in action on Sunday evening in their opening game of the season with new striker Benjamin Sesko debuting.
Sesko, who was a subject of serious interest from Arsenal all through the summer before joining the Red Devils, will go all head in the game having something to prove against his initial suitors.
After making his move to Old Trafford, Benjamin Sesko has appeared right at home as he has been spotted on several occasions all smiles during training ahead of the Premier League opener.
Amorim Declares Sesko Ready
The Old Trafford faithful may be given a first glimpse of summer recruit Sesko alongside Premier League debuts for Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
After failing to secure a move to Arsenal, Sesko completed his big-money move to Old Trafford last week in a deal worth £74m from RB Leipzig.
During a press conference, Amorim was asked if the 22-year-old forward would be included in the match against Arsenal on Sunday, he answered: “He hasn’t had a lot of time, [but] physically he’s ready.
“He’s really smart, a guy who’s always thinking. He is ready to play but we’ll see if he’s going to start.”
Asked further about the young striker, the United manger praised the Slovenia International for his brilliant attitude, claiming that Manchester United had found a player who could lead the line for the club for many years to come.
Amorim Declares Sesko Ready
“He [Sesko] has great potential,” Amorim said.
“He has a great potential in everything he does. He can play a different type of football. He is going to feel that the Premier League is aggressive. He is going to learn.
“But Ben can be a striker for United for a lot of years, that’s why we paid so much money to have a striker who will have his history in our club.
“He’s one guy who stays here, has lunch, and goes to the medical department, does the stretching.
“He is always thinking about football. He’s really obsessed about that and that is a good thing because you don’t have to think about that aspect with that young guy.
“I don’t need to tell Ben, ‘Ben, this is Manchester United, a lot of pressure, you have to perform, you need to be ready for the physicality, we need to be ready, every game is like do or die’.
Amorim Declares Sesko Ready
“With that guy, I don’t have that concern. I have the opposite, enjoy a little bit.
“I really like that [he asks questions], especially when it is smart questions so he’s listened and he wants to perform so that is very good.”
Hojlund Still Our Player ─ Amorim
Many football lovers and pundits have become scared for Rasmus Hojlund since United’s singing of Benjamin Sesko.
The Denmark International’s future at the Old Trafford has been thrown into doubt and uncertainty since the arrival of Sesko who has been tipped to becomes the club’s main striker.
The Danish striker, who struggled to hit the back of the net last season, is said to be open to a move to AC Milan, according to viral reports making rounds.
Talks are understood to have taken place between Milan and the 22-year-old’s representatives with Milan expected to accelerate talks with United over a loan with an option to buy.
As per reports, other clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, are said to be monitoring Haglund’s situation at United.
Ruben Amorim was asked during a press conference if Hojlund still had a future at Old Trafford, Amorim refused to be drawn on the issue and played down rumours that the Dane was surplus to requirements.

“He is one more option, we will see [about his future]. We are focused on Arsenal. Rasmus [Hojlund] is still our player.”
Sesko Arrival Could Impact Amorim’s Reign At United
“Benjamin Sesko is a big prospect but one with plenty to prove and his success could be crucial to Manchester United’s rebuild under Ruben Amorim.
“The raw potential is obvious. This is a player who stands at 6ft 5in tall but has pace too. He can head the ball and fire off fierce shots from distance. And there is belief that his hold-up play will improve, dropping off too but providing Amorim with his reference.”
“We struggled without a reference as a striker.” That was Ruben Amorim’s verdict on Manchester United’s final pre_season game against Florentino.
“We have a new player, so we will see.” The hope is that Benjamin Sesko can make the difference.

“In short, Sesko appears special. I think he is destined for greatness. It is not just the physicality, it is the technical aspect. He will be successful wherever he goes.”
Football lovers all around the world are waiting to see Benjamin Sesko in action and what becomes of him in June, next year, when the season must have ended.
The ends justifies the means.
