Benjamin Sesko declares full fitness after scoring on Man Utd return

Manchester United forward Benjamin Sesko has declared his persistent fitness struggles a thing of the past. The Slovenian international returned to the starting XI in the Champions League with a goal, marking a successful end to a frustrating period on the sidelines due to a troublesome shin injury.

Sesko emphasized that the club's medical staff took a deliberate, patient approach to his recovery to ensure the issue would not flare up again.

It was basically just to make sure that it doesn't get worse because this was kind of a problem. We just need a little bit longer than usual, because if you start too early, it might appear again. And I think waiting a little bit longer was a great decision, and now it's healed, so it's perfect. Benjamin Sesko

The forward revealed that the injury stemmed from a combination of external impact and the physical demands of the Premier League during the previous campaign. After a whirlwind first year in Manchester, Sesko says he now feels fully settled, noting that he is enjoying life and his football more than ever.

Reflecting on his career path, Sesko reiterated that his move to Old Trafford was a calculated decision. Having been tracked by United since he was 16, he opted for a gradual progression through the European ranks before committing to the Premier League, ensuring he was mentally and physically prepared for the pressure of one of the world's biggest clubs.
