Ruben Amorim has declared that Benjamin Sesko is ready to make his Manchester United debut against Arsenal but has warned his new £200m strike force that they face a fight for their places in his revamped team. Sesko completed his £66.5m move from RB Leipzig on Saturday but arrived too late to feature in any of United’s pre-season games.

Manchester United has signed Slovenia forward Benjamin Sesko in an attempt to bounce back from its worst season in the Premier League era.

The new Premier League season kicks off this weekend with a full schedule of fixtures running from Friday to Monday. Manchester United begin with a home clash with title-chasing Arsenal at Old Trafford as manager Ruben Amorim looks to improve on last season's dismal 15th-place finish.
