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 manager, Ruben Amorim, has dropped a strong hint that £74m signing Benjamin Sesko could start in Sunday’s Premier League opener against Arsenal at Old Trafford.Sesko, 21, joined from RB Leipzig last week in what was United’s biggest deal of the summer.

Mikel Arteta says he and his players have no doubts about Martin Odegaard's qualities as Arsenal captain. The Norway international has been captain for three years — all second-place finishes in the Premier League — and that won't change as the Gunners prepare for their season opener at Manchester United on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta has undoubtedly made a significant impact at Arsenal since his arrival at the end of 2019. Leaving his position as assistant coach under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, he took on the challenge of rebuilding a club that had been struggling for several seasons.
