Ruben Amorim believes Benjamin Sesko has all the attributes to succeed long term as a Manchester United striker.
Sesko completed his move from RB Leipzig last weekend and the Reds head coach revealed that our no.30 is physically ready to be involved in Sunday’s Premier League opener against Arsenal.
When asked if Benjamin was an exciting addition to a fresh-looking attack that already includes fellow summer arrivals Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, Ruben replied enthusiastically.
The boss touched upon Sesko’s adaptability and eagerness to learn, as well as his deep love for the sport.
“I think he has great potential in everything he does,”
said Amorim.
“He can play different types of football. He's going to feel that the Premier League is really aggressive, he's 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.
“That's why we paid so much money - to have a striker that will have his history in our club.
“The guy is always thinking about football. He's really obsessed by that and that is a good thing because you don't have to think about that aspect with that young guy.
“I don't need to tell Ben, 'this is Manchester United, a lot of pressure, you have to perform, you need to be ready for the physicality, we need to be ready for every game, it's like do-or-die'.
“With that guy, I have not that concern. I have the opposite, [he needs to] enjoy [himself] a little bit!
“He's listening, and he wants to perform, so that is really good.”
