Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has expressed full confidence in new signing Benjamin Sesko ahead of their Premier League curtain-raiser against Arsenal on Sunday.

Amorim believes the Slovenian striker has all the tools to trouble defenders in England’s top flight, insisting he is ready for the challenge. “Sesko is a special talent with the mentality to succeed here. He’s prepared to face Arsenal and the rest of the league,” Amorim said.

United fans will be eager to see if the 21-year-old can make an immediate impact against one of the league’s toughest opponents, as the Red Devils aim to start their campaign with a statement victory.
