Amorim says £73m striker Ben is utterly dedicated to being a success at Old Trafford

- BY JASON MELLOR

BENJAMIN SESKO has been challenged to write his name into Manchester United's record books.

Ruben Amorim revealed how he's virtually had to drag his workaholic new striker off the training pitch - because the £73million signing from RB Leipzig is desperate to force his way into his coach's plans for Sunday's clash with Arsenal.

After his concerns over the attitude of departed England international Marcus Rashford, Amorim loves what he's seen so far from ‘football obsessive’ Sesko - even if he has had his work cut out to make sure the 22-year-old doesn't overdo it in his efforts to make a lasting first impression.

“I can see him being a striker here at the club for a lot of years,” Amorim said of the Slovenia star.
