The Man Utd team news for the Premier League opener against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.
Sesko did not feature for United during their final pre-season friendly against Fiorentina a week ago after he completed his £66.26 million move from RB Leipzig just hours before it kicked off. The Slovenian striker is set to be eased into action for his new club, with Mason Mount part of the new-look forward line alongside both Mbeumo and Cunha.
Amorim has also made big calls at right wing-back and central midfield with Diogo Dalot selected over Amad Diallo and Casemiro chosen instead of Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte.

Manchester United line up vs Arsenal
Andre Onana has been left out of the Manchester United squad to face Arsenal in their opening match of the Premier League after he missed the entire pre-season schedule due to injury. The Cameroonian did not play in any of the summer friendly matches due to a hamstring injury and was in a race to be fit for the opening weekend.
Onana had targeted a return for the Arsenal match but Ruben Amorim did not want to risk him, given his lack of match sharpness. It means Altay Bayindir has been handed a start, with Tom Heaton named on the bench.
The other big piece of team news is that Rasmus Hojlund has been left out of the squad altogether as United aim to sell the Danish striker before transfer deadline day. Hojlund has reiterated he wants to remain at United but he has been deemed surplus to requirements by Ruben Amorim and has been advised to leave the club to gain regular playing time elsewhere.
United XI vs Arsenal: Bayindir, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Dalot, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbuemo, Mount, Cunha. Subs: Heaton, Fredricson, Heaven, Maguire, Mainoo, Ugarte, Amad, Sesko, Zirkzee.
