Manchester United officially announced that new center Benjamin Scheshko, who is introduced by 85 million euros, can start to play in Arsenal. The 22-year-old Slovenian scorer came to Manchester last Thursday and officially joined on Saturday, and joined the team in the next day. Head coach Ruben Amorin is very satisfied with Seshko's physical condition and hard work.

In the first round of the Premier League home game against Arsenal, Manchester United's main goalkeeper Andre Onana will also return from injury. In addition, center Zilkerze has also resumed full training, which means that Hoylund, who is about to transfer, may not get the last chance to play in the Premier League.

At present, Manchester United confirmed that only Lisandro Martinez and Mazlawi are missing. Amorin said: "Nusel (Mazravi) and Lisandro (Martinez) were injured and they could not play this game. Joshua (Zilkze) recovered, and Andre (Onana) was also, they were the optional players in this game, we will wait and see."

Regarding the situation of Sishko, Amorin introduced: "We have more than 3 strikers, they are fighting for the position, I am really satisfied. Benjamin (Sishko) has great potential and he can play different types of football. He will feel the intensity of the Premier League, he needs to learn, but he has great potential. I can see that Benjamin will be Manchester United's scorer for many years, which is why we pay such a high price, which is for a name that can leave a name in the team history. Forward. ”

mentioned whether Sheshko could start in the first round of the Premier League, Amorin said: "Of course, we don't have much time, but he is ready. Physically, he is ready, which is an important part of the Premier League. Moreover, he is also smart and every detail he asks is thoughtful. He exercises his physical fitness every afternoon. He is the only player who has lunch in Carrington and goes to the gym to do stretching. He always thinks about football and is very dedicated. This is a good thing. You don't have to worry about this young man's problem. As for whether he can play and start, we'll wait and see, he's the same as other players."

Amorin praised Sheshko's attitude. "I don't need to tell Benjamin: 'This is Manchester United, there is a lot of pressure, you have to perform well, you need to be ready for physical confrontation, you need to be ready for every game. If you don't succeed, you're losing." I won't have that worry about him, but instead, I feel he should enjoy it! I really like his questions, especially asking smart questions. He will listen and want to perform, so that's good."

After three new forwards join, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez is considered possible to retreat. Amorin explained: "It is a good thing for Bruno (Fernandez) to stay in one position. I hope he is close to the ball, which is really important to our team, but sometimes he also needs to get close to the goal. We will determine the best players in the best position based on the game.

mentioned his goal, Amorin expressed his hope that Manchester United will return to the European game, but he admitted that this must be fought desperately to achieve. Now the team needs to be down-to-earth and improve itself one by one.

Amorin expressed cautious optimism for the new season. "It's hard to say, because in four weeks we can't change everything, but the team has indeed improved. I know that the players have trained harder, trained better, and are more prepared to deal with the needs of the game. We will become a better team step by step, and now I'm more confident."

Manchester United's match against Arsenal at Old Trafford may become the arena where two strikers who are new to the Premier League, Sheshko and Dzekelish, compete directly. Liverpool's Ekitic has already scored first, and the pressure is now left to the two high-priced new players of the Red Devils and the Gunners.
