'The level of the matches is much higher, the players and team-mates'

UNITED striker Benjamin Sesko has admitted the level in the Premier League is 'higher'.

- By STEVEN RAILSTON

United signed Sesko from RB Leipzig for €76.5million (£66.4m), with €8.5m (£7.3m) in add-ons.

Newcastle pushed hard to sign Sesko and had Champions League football to offer, but the young striker preferred a move to Old Trafford this summer and signed a five-year contract.

Sesko made his debut from the bench against Arsenal and made a further two substitute appearances against Fulham and Burnley.

Sesko received his first start against Grimsby in the Carabao Cup.

The 22-year-old has not scored since signing from RB Leipzig, but he is still getting up to speed after missing time in preseason.

Sesko has reported for international duty with Slovenia and he spoke to local press about his start at United.
