Manchester United are moving ever closer to the start of their 2025/26 Premier League campaign, with preparations intensifying at Carrington ahead of Sunday’s highly anticipated clash with Arsenal at Old Trafford.
The atmosphere among the squad is one of focus and determination, boosted by the arrival of several high-profile summer signings.
New faces have already made their mark in training, with the likes of Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon and Bryan Mbeumo blending into the group, and competition for places looking fiercer than ever.
The buzz around the club is not just about the Gunners fixture, but also the unveiling of the Reds’ latest marquee addition, Benjamin Sesko, who was paraded in front of the Old Trafford crowd before the weekend’s friendly against Fiorentina.
The Slovenian striker’s presence has injected renewed optimism into supporters who are eager to see a genuine focal point leading the line.
After settling in quickly, Benjamin Sesko sat down for his first official interview with MUTV as a Manchester United player – and it’s clear he is raring to go.
The 6ft 5in frontman outlined exactly how he intends to make an impact for the Reds, offering fans a glimpse of what they can expect.
“I’m kind of the guy that is ready to attack, to be in front, if there is a space behind to run it over.
“Of course, if there are crosses, it’s always going to be nice, I’m always going to be there and I think that’s also what is important and also what Man United need.”
The words will be music to the ears of United’s creative players, with Sesko’s aerial presence and intelligent movement promising to add a new dimension to Ruben Amorim’s attacking options.
The striker’s willingness to exploit space, anticipate deliveries and lead the line with aggression mirrors exactly what supporters have been demanding in recent seasons.
United fans will not have to wait long to see if Sesko can live up to his billing – and with Arsenal coming to town in less than a week, his Old Trafford debut could be the perfect stage to announce himself in style.
