Ruben Amorim believes Benjamin Sesko has “the right character” for the manager’s overhaul of his Manchester United forward line after the RB Leipzig striker signed a five-year deal worth up to £73.7m.

Sesko passed his medical at Old Trafford on Saturday morning and was introduced before the pre-season their friendly against Fiorentina. United are paying Leipzig €76.5m (£66.3m) plus a potential €8.5m (£7.4m) in add-ons for their fourth major signing of the summer.
