Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said that the new signature Benjamin Sesko was ready to play for the team against Arsenal this weekend.
The Red Devils are starting their new Premier League campaign with a delicate home game against the Gunners on Sunday afternoon.
However, Amorim hopes that this could be the start of a better season for Man Utd, which has a number of new exciting signatures that they can align in this game.
Sesko is one of them, the international Slovenian striker recently joined RB Leipzig, but not in time to appear in pre-season matches.
Amorim has not yet been clear if he thinks that Sesko will be able to start against Arsenal, but he warned his opponents that his new striker is ready.

Speaking during his press conference today, Amorim said: “We did not have much time but he is ready. Physically, he is ready. He is ready to play, we will see if he will start.”
United will also welcome Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo after finishing his moves from Wolves and Brentford, respectively, earlier in the transfer window.
However, Arsenal has some new faces that should be ready to have an impact, with Martin Zubimenddi and Viktor Gyokerres who seem clear enough in their recent friendly victory against Bilbao athletic.
Can SESKO punish Arsenal after joining United instead?
Sesko was notably a target for Arsenal earlier in summer, before eventually enrolling Gyokerres instead.
It will now be interesting to see if SESKO can have an impact on the MUFC against the men of Mikel Arteta this weekend.
Gyokerres will also be impatient to prove himself at this level, after a certain degree of skepticism that he can repeat his record of score of the Portuguese League in the English elite.
