Ruben Amorim has said Manchester United signing Benjamin Sesko is ‘ready’ to make his debut against Arsenal this weekend.
Sesko has joined Manchester United from RB Leipzig for a fee that could reach £74m. The Slovenian striker has played no part in the club’s pre-season but has trained alongside his new teammates this week.
The opening fixture against Arsenal offers an intriguing sub-plot, with the North London side having held talks about signing Sesko earlier this summer.
Amorim has confirmed that the 22-year-old is available to debut against his former suitors, insisting the new arrival is ‘physically ready’ to feature at Old Trafford.
“We didn’t have a lot of time but he is ready,” said Amorim at his pre-match press conference.
“Physically he is ready, that is a big component in our league, then he is really smart, he is ready to play, we will see if he is going to start.”
