Sesko: We’ll get United flying high again

Benjamin Sesko has vowed to help get Manchester United “flying high again” after revealing the reasons behind his decision to join the club.

The centre-forward sealed a move from RB Leipzig at the weekend, and trained with his new team-mates for the first time on Sunday, as he will hope to prove his fitness ahead of the Premier League opener against Arsenal.

There had been a lot of speculation over his future, with a number of top clubs keen on his services, but Sesko believes the potential for United to get back to the top was a key influence behind his choice of destination.

SIGNING INTERVIEW | Benjamin Sesko explains his decision to join United and what he plans to achieve as a Red…

When asked by MUTV’s Zarah Connolly about his ambitions at United, he replied: “Just that we get better, that we connect together, in general, and we, as a team, just try to grow, to grow together step by step because we’re getting better.

“We’re just even more complete and complete.

“It’s just a matter of time when we can fly high again.”

When it came to saying ‘yes’ to making the switch to Old Trafford, the Slovenia striker explained how it was a mixture of the status of the club and the potential of the team.

“I think, first of all, because of the club,” he said. “It’s just a historical club that is unbelievable.

“For me, the team is great. It is getting better and better and that’s why also there is just stuff that makes you come there, gives you this energy that you want to be part of.

“I think it’s a great project, in general, and I can’t wait to start, definitely.

“I’ve just been here for a couple of hours,” he continued. “And it’s already been amazing. I can already feel that we’re going to be a great family and it is a pleasure to be part of it.

“It feels good, you know, the thing is it [the badge] fits well and I’m looking forward to just playing in it a lot and try to represent in the good ways possible.”
