Manchester United look to bounce back from last season's dismal campaign when they kick off their Premier League campaign against Arsenal on Sunday.

The Red Devils have spent the summer reshaping their attack and could parade their new front three for the first time at Old Trafford when they take on Mikel Arteta's men.

Following the arrivals of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, United completed their new attacking line-up with the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. 

It's a deal that former defender Wes Brown is delighted with, and speaking exclusively to DAZN News, thanks to best online casinos casino.org, he believes the Slovenian could make all the difference this season.

"It’s a great signing for Manchester United," Brown said. 

"The type of signing that the club have been looking to achieve for a number of years.

"It’s also the right time for Sesko, with all respect, he was playing for Leipzig in Germany, but now has his move to a big club in Manchester United, where he wants to show on the big stage what he can do.

"It’s also great for the club to have two strikers in Sesko and Hoijland who can compete together and play as a pair or with one starting and pushing the other.

"Manchester United needs competition, and signing Sesko can give a further lift to the club in what has been an A-grade off-season, bringing in Cunha and Mbeumo as well.

"The signing of Sesko is great for the creative players we have as well, especially Amad and Bruno Fernandes who will create plenty of chances for Sesko to score.

"The quality in wide areas is very good now, so this season can be a positive one for Manchester United.

"I think Sesko has all the attributes to score plenty of goals for Manchester United. He is mobile, good in the air and with his feet, so it all bodes really well for the club."

With the trio of new names on board, Ruben Amorim's men will look to make a massive improvement on last season's 15th-place finish, especially with no European football as a distraction. 

Brown believes that although his former club aren't ready for a title challenge, a top-eight finish is well within their capabilities.

Adding, "I would hope that Manchester United can push for European football and a sixth or seventh finish.

"This is the key now for Manchester United, to push for a minimum of European football. If we can get Champions League football, it will be an outstanding achievement.

"First and foremost, it’s about being better than last season. Then a domestic trophy would also be great for the Club.

"The title is out of the question, I think, as the top four are too far ahead, and with such quality and deep squads, I am not sure we are there yet.
