RUBEN AMORIM says new signing Benjamin Sesko is ready to start tomorrow's Premier League opener against Arsenal and backed the striker to star for Manchester United for years to come.
Just three months on from the end of the Red Devils' worst topflight season since 1974, there is a sense of optimism heading into the new season thanks in no small part to some exciting acquisitions.
Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon's arrivals brought hope and were complemented by the signing of talented 22-year-old striker Sesko from RB Leipzig in a deal worth up to £73.7million last Saturday.
The Slovenia international was presented on the pitch later that day ahead of the preseason friendly against Fiorentina at Old Trafford, where he could line up against Arsenal tomorrow afternoon.
"I think he has great potential in everything he does," head coach Amorim said.
"He can play different types of football, he is going to feel that Premier League is really aggressive.
"He is going to learn but he has a great potential and I can see Ben being a striker for Manchester United for a lot of years.
