Sesko: Every training at United is a dream
Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko is happy to be fit and available again, having returned from a four-game injury absence during Monday’s 4-4 draw with Bournemouth.
Sesko was introduced from the bench in the second half at Old Trafford and played a big role in teeing up Matheus Cunha’s goal that made it 4-3 to United with just over 10 minutes to play.
Our summer signing from RB Leipzig had been sidelined for just over a month after picking up an injury in November’s draw away to Spurs but is now pleased to be back on the pitch.

Sesko: United preparing for Sunday with power
Benjamin Sesko shares an insight into United's preparations for the Villa game, and says he's happy to be fit again...
“I was really happy when I came back, that I could be back with the team,” the forward told us earlier this week.
“I can enjoy, have a great time and try and get better every day. It’s obviously a dream to do every single training out there and score some goals.”
“I can enjoy, have a great time and try and get better every day. It’s obviously a dream to do every single training out there and score some goals.”
Benjamin’s return to action has come at a good time for United, with Bryan Mbeumo, our top scorer so far this season, among the players that won’t be available for Sunday’s Premier League trip to Aston Villa.
The Reds will be without Mbeumo, Amad and Noussair Mazraoui as they prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations, while Casemiro is suspended. Both Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire will miss the game through injury too.
Despite those absences, Sesko says training this week has been positive, as we get ready to face a side that has won each of their last nine games across all competitions.

Team news for Villa encounter
ArticleRuben Amorim provides an update on his squad ahead of Sunday's match.
“We know this is a great team, we are preparing with full power that we can use. Try to use it in certain situations, on the weak spots [of Aston Villa],” Benjamin added.
“I think the guys are ready, we are looking forward to Sunday, trying to give our best and win the game.
“[The message from Ruben has been] obviously to try and finish attacks because we had plenty of shots [against Bournemouth], try to be more clinical and in the defence just to have more focus.
“As he says always, when we have a focus, it’s hard to beat us. We showed [that] many times, that’s the main focus for this weekend, to try and protect the net as long as possible.”

The 22-year-old was speaking to club media at the Manchester United Disabled Supporters’ Association’s annual Christmas party, which took place at Old Trafford on Thursday afternoon.
After joining the club in the summer, it was his first time at the event, and he enjoyed the opportunity to put smiles on the faces of a room full of passionate United supporters.
“We’ve been chatting, having a good time,” Sesko said with a smile, when we asked him what he’d been up to at the event.

“I’ve been enjoying it a lot [meeting fans since I arrived at the club]. The passion people have for this club is unbelievable, it’s nice to see that.
“They breathe the same like us, they want to be in our position, they want to help us win the games. It’s amazing, I love that.”
