Man Utd's latest transfer is music to the ears of two Ruben Amorim stars

Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown believes that Ruben Amorim's newest signing, Benjamin Sesko, will elevate two players already in the squad. The Red Devils paid RB Leipzig an initial £66.3million, with another £7.3m in add-ons, in order to prise the Slovenian wonderkid out of Newcastle's clutches.

He made his debut in the encouraging 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on the opening weekend of the Premier League season and is expected to form a revamped front three alongside fellow new recruits Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha going forward.

However, Brown believes that two of last season's top performers will reap the benefits of Sesko's arrival as a new focal point.

"The signing of Sesko is great for the creative players we have as well, especially Amad and Bruno [Fernandes], who will create plenty of chances for Sesko to score," Brown told Express Sport with best online casinos.

"The quality in wide areas is very good now so this season can be a positive one for Manchester United. I think Sesko has all the attributes to score plenty of goals for Manchester United. He is mobile, good in the air and with his feet, so it all bodes really well for the club."

United skipper Fernandes is expected to continue in a deeper role, while Amad is likely to fill in at wing-back behind Mbeumo, as he did against Arsenal off the bench.

But United now boast a squad with more attacking options than last season, where they scored just 44 goals in 38 league games, and will be desperate to get off the mark away to Fulham on Sunday.

And Brown thinks that Sesko, who will be in contention to start over false-nine Mason Mount at Craven Cottage, is the perfect signing to propel United back into European contention.

"It's a great signing for Manchester United," Brown added. "The type of signing that the club have been looking to achieve for a number of years.

"It's also the right time for Sesko, with all respect, he was playing for Leipzig in Germany, but now has his move to a big club in Manchester United, where he wants to show on the big stage what he can do.

"It's also great for the club to have two strikers in Sesko and [Rasmus] Hojlund who can compete together and play as a pair or with one starting and pushing the other.

"Manchester United needs competition and signing Sesko can give a further lift to the club in what has been an A-grade off-season, bringing in Cunha and Mbeumo as well."

Hojlund is increasingly likely to make way in the final week of the transfer window, with Joshua Zirkzee expected to compete with Sesko and Mount for a spot up front.
