Benjamin Sesko appears to have recovered from his injury and is ready for the start of pre-season training at Manchester United. Sesko joined the Reds from RB Leipzig for £73million last summer.
The forward went on to score 11 Premier League goals in his first season at Old Trafford. However, Sesko's campaign was cut short when he picked up a shin injury during the 3-2 victory over Liverpool at the start of May.
But in a post on Instagram, the Slovenia international appears ready to return to action, as he wrote: “Rested. Refreshed. Back to preparing for the season.”
Sesko was recently linked with a move to Barcelona, but the MEN understands that the forward is set for a more prominent role in his second campaign at the club.
But United hero Gary Pallister, who won four league titles during his time at Old Trafford, recently told the club’s hierarchy they need to secure an experienced striker this summer who Sesko can learn from.

“I think a lot of people at Manchester United are really happy that Michael Carrick has got the job,” he said, via NewBettingSites.
“You look at United and the closest we've come to having a stereotypical United team was under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. And it kind of feels a bit like what happened with Ole.
“Michael's come in and he's got good results. I think he's brought a resilience into the team. I think he knows what United fans want.

“I think in the end Ruben Amorim just lost his way and, honestly, almost welcomed the sack. So I'm pleased for Michael and I hope we can back him in the transfer window.
“He's already made a start. I think they maybe need another centre-forward. [Benjamin] Sesko did alright last year, but I think he's still got a bit to learn as he's still a young kid.
“I think someone with a bit more maturity than Sesko would be ideal for the centre-forward slot to fight with him for the position.”
