Ruben Amorim Set for Game-Changing Injury Return That Could Transform Man Utd's Fortune
Following nearly four weeks on the sidelines due to injury, summer acquisition Benjamin Šeško is nearing a comeback to assist Manchester United's campaign, as confirmed by his representative, Elvis Basanovic.
The Red Devils' prominent summer recruit sustained a knee problem that has kept him out of the team's previous five fixtures. The Slovenia international forward has managed only two strikes in 11 Premier League appearances for United and is said to be anxious to return and establish himself under Ruben Amorim's management.
Basanovic discussed Šeško's fitness situation with Arena Sport, indicating that the 22-year-old's comeback could happen within days as he looks to revitalize his Old Trafford journey.
"Benjamin [Šeško] is in excellent spirits, his rehabilitation is progressing according to schedule," Basanovic stated, via ESPN. "He's extremely motivated to get back on the field, he's missing the game.
"He's absent from matches and showing some restlessness, so we're optimistic he'll return shortly and be in his element again. I believe we'll witness him back in action very soon, possibly earlier than expected right now."
Šeško was still adapting to Premier League football when his injury disrupted his development. However, his swift return is crucial for United, especially with fellow summer attacking addition Bryan Mbeumo set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations in the coming week.
United's packed winter fixture list makes Šeško's availability even more critical, providing Amorim with maximum options to handle English football's demanding schedule throughout the holiday season.
Benjamin Sesko's Agent Praises Ruben Amorim
Šeško's representative called for patience from United while commending the individual who was instrumental in bringing the striker to Old Trafford: Amorim.
"I must mention he [Amorim] welcomed Benjamin wonderfully," Basanovic commented. "I believe Ruben is primarily an outstanding individual with remarkable presence, exceptionally smart, emotionally astute and I'm confident he understands his role.
"It's challenging to construct such an ambitious project that demands tremendous expertise and wisdom. United ranks among the world's premier clubs, possibly the greatest, and supporters must realize that time is essential.
"He represents a coach with his distinct philosophy to elevate United to the summit, but he certainly requires patience."
The Portuguese tactician encouraged United supporters to show patience with Šeško following his slow start since arriving in England, acknowledging that initial difficulties were expected.
However, Amorim also recognized that Šeško "possesses greater ability than I initially believed" and that "he will serve as our main striker for years to come."
