Benjamin Sesko has revealed what Manchester United fans can expect from him after joining the club from German outfit RB Leipzig.

‌

Sesko finalised his move to Old Trafford on Saturday and was introduced to supporters ahead of the friendly with Fiorentina. He has signed a five-year deal.

‌

United had been on the hunt for a striker throughout the summer and they are confident Sesko will provide the goals they are in desperate need of. He scored 21 times for Leipzig last season and his potential has been lauded by head coach Ruben Amorim and football director Jason Wilcox.

‌

Expected to make his debut for United when they face Arsenal in their Premier League opener on Sunday, Sesko has outlined what sort of qualities he will add to Amorim's team, pinpointing his desire to attack spaces in forward areas.

Sesko told club media: "I'm kind of the guy that is ready to attack, to be in front, if there is a space to run in.

"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."

The Slovenia international, 22, is expected to be at the centre of United's new-look front-three alongside Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. The trio scored 58 goals for their former clubs across all competitions last season.

Looking forward to working with Amorim, Sesko added: "Of course, I think this is a really important part in football. [He is a] great guy, a great coach.

"So when you're going to start, it's important."
