United star’s agent drops fantastic injury update that will have fans buzzing

Benjamin Sesko’s agent, Elvis Basanovic, has offered an extremely positive update on the striker as he continues his rehabilitation from a knee injury. Sesko injury Sesko has been sidelined for slightly over a month now after sustaining an injury during the 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on November 8. He came on as a substitute in the second half but had to be forced off after a heavy challenge on him by Micky van de Ven. There were fears that the setback could be serious but medical scans later revealed that Sesko would not be out for too long. The expectation was that Sesko would be back before the turn of the year, but his agent has now claimed the forward could return much earlier than that. Speaking to Slovenian TV channel, Arena Sport, Basanovic also hailed the ongoing project under Ruben Amorim while also calling for patience from supporters. Sesko’s agent talks Basanovic said [as quoted by GIVEMESPORT], “Benjamin is feeling very well. His rehabilitation is progressing according to plan.” “It’s hard to say precisely when he will return. That will be up to the medical staff and the manager, but I think we’ll see him back on the pitch very soon. Maybe even sooner than expected.” He explained about United’s ambitions, “Manchester United did well in the transfer market this summer. They brought in some excellent players who will prove over the next few years that they deserve to wear this shirt.” “Manchester United did well in the transfer market this summer. They brought in some excellent players who will prove over the next few years that they deserve to wear this shirt.” Basanovic predicted that United can realistically challenge for the Premier League title in the next two years. On Amorim, Sesko’s agent remarked, “Ruben is an excellent person with fantastic charisma. He is extremely intelligent, emotionally intelligent. He knows what he is doing. I believe it’s not easy to build such a project, one that requires an enormous amount of patience. United is one of the biggest, if not the biggest club in the world.” “He is a very honest person. A good man, everything he does, he does with good intentions. He is also exceptionally professional, and I believe he is an outstanding coach. He has his own vision and knows how to bring United back to the top.” “But he needs time, which is difficult to explain in such a big club. Everyone wants immediate results, but this team and Ruben deserve time. Progress is clear compared to last season, and I believe next year will be even better. Another year later, we can realistically expect a push for the Premier League title.” He explained that Sesko and fellow summer arrivals Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo must be afforded time to gel and forge partnerships on the pitch. United are next in action on Monday evening when they welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford.
