Benjamin Sesko scores in first start as Manchester United beats Sabah
Summary

Benjamin Sesko completed his first start of the season on Thursday as Manchester United defeated Sabah 4-0 in the Champions League. The striker scored during the match, confirming his recovery from a persistent shin injury that required a delayed introduction to the active lineup. Sesko had previously featured as a substitute in three matches while the team managed his fitness to avoid further setbacks. The forward joined Manchester United from RB Leipzig in a £66m move last season and recorded 12 goals during his debut campaign. He expressed confidence in his current physical state and his adjustment to life in England. Sesko noted that the club's cautious approach to his recovery proved effective, allowing him to return to full match fitness without further complications.
