Fresh Start for Man United vs Arsenal…
There are three things you can count on in life: death, taxes, and Manchester United playing their first league game at home for the 183,456th time. Come Sunday, another chapter unfolds as they face Arsenal at Old Trafford. There’s a tickle of excitement following a summer of positivity, as United showed off pre-season flair and tackled the transfer market like a cat that finally caught the laser pointer. They finished last season with a negative goal difference, making new attacking signings their main mission, and voila! Enter Benjamin Sesko, the newest puzzle piece from RB Leipzig.
Sesko’s entry marks the end of United’s search for a true striker, after dodging the likes of Delap and Gyokeres like a kid avoiding bath time. At 22, having netted 21 times for Leipzig, Sesko is as unstoppable as a toddler on a sugar rush. Jason Wilcox describes him as a rare combo of speed and power—like a cheetah in a powerlifting competition. As Sesko steps up to potentially replace the midfielders leading attacks in recent games, United fans are eager. The buzz around starting him with Cunha and Mbeumo suggests excitement not seen since Lukaku debuted with a 4-0 opener in 2017. Fingers are crossed for him to strike gold much like lightning hitting the same spot twice!
