BENJAMIN SESKO is well and truly getting into the swing of things at Manchester United following his big-money move from RB Leipzig.
The Red Devils pipped Premier League rivals Newcastle to the signature of the coveted centre-forward last Saturday.

United have forked out £74million for the striker, who was briefly on the wishlist of last season’s Prem runners-up Arsenal.
Sesko took in some of Manchester’s hotspots shortly after confirmation of his Old Trafford move, dining at popular Italian restaurant San Carlo with his agent.
His first official training session with his new team-mates was scheduled for Monday morning, and he arrived bright and early at Carrington.
And the Slovenia international well and truly got stuck in during his first session under the stewardship of Ruben Amorim.
Sesko took part in what appeared to be a training game organised by Amorim.
He was clearly in the mood to impress as he was seen busting a gut on several occasions.
Sesko was also seen taking part in a finish drill, with the former Leipzig man tasked with finding the back of the net from a cross.
And United fans will be thrilled by the Slovenian’s willingness to get his head on the end of the crosses, which he showed with a salmon-esque leap of a diving header.

The arrival of Sesko, who bagged 27 goals and seven assists in 64 appearances for Leipzig, has well and truly increased the firepower at Amorim’s disposal.
He’s likely to lead the line for the Red Devils in their Premier League opener against Arsenal on Sunday.
But he could play his first game for the club in the coming days as United, according to The Times, are planning to play a secret and currently unscheduled friendly ahead of the visit of the Gunners.
United brass are said to be considering the match to help Sesko gain more “real-world” training before the season begins.
Sesko is champing at the bit, saying: I think it’s a great project, in general.
“And I can’t wait to start, definitely.
“I’ve just been here for a couple of hours,” he continued. “And it’s already been amazing.
“I can already feel that we’re going to be a great family and it is a pleasure to be part of it.
“It feels good, you know, the thing is it [the badge] fits well.
“And I’m looking forward to just playing in it a lot and try to represent in the good ways possible.”
