The designated preseason of Manchester United may be over, but Ruben Amorim could be set to add another match before the season opener against Arsenal.
Five games for Manchester United in the preseason have delivered three victories, two draws and two “trophies”, making it a successful time.
What is even more important, United has come through without major injuries, in contrast to the previous year when Rasmus Hojlund and Leny Yoro were hit by setbacks.
Now Ruben Amorim may have just given a hint for his line -up against Arsenal by wanting to add another friendly game before the season against Arsenal starts.
Man Utd explores the prospect to play a friendship
Now that Arsenal came to Old Trafford on August 17, it was the preseason that ended on August 9 the perfect time for the team to work on recovery and match preparation.
Amorim, however, may have prioritized a few minutes in the legs of all his players, because they explore the prospect to add another game before Arsenal.
According to De Tijd, Amorim Andre Onana and Benjamin Sesko want to give a 'real-world' training that can only happen against a competitive opponent.
None of these players played a minute of United's preseason. Onana works his way back to fitness, while Sesko drew just in time to be unveiled in Old Trafford for the last pre-season game.
That is why the club wants to get them going this season in a United set before the Marquee kick -off on the first day of match against Arsenal.
Altay Bayindir is not entirely convinced in Doel, while Amorim spoke about a pointed reference that was missing after the Fiorentina game.
Those two factors, combined with this decision, mean that Amorim is ready to take a calculated gamble against Arsenal.
Andre Onana and Benjamin Sesko have been set up against Arsenal
It would not be ideal for Amorim, given that he did not consider Bryan Mbeumo-Match-Fit to two games, despite the player who travels with the team and training in the US.
But the need of the hour is to be urgent, because the keeper and striker are where the difference in the quality of the first choice and the quality of the backup is too great.
Amorim urgently wants Sesko and Onana to shake some rust because he starts them against Arsenal, despite the fact that they both miss pre-season game.
If it was a different position, the man Utd manager would have been careful, as he was at Mbeumo or even Matheus Cunha.
However, the power of the opposition and the composition of the team means that Sesko and Onana are not luxurious; They are a necessity.
Regardless of who is being played, the fans will drool friendly for details of the rear-closed-thousand.
Sesko had not thought that his husband Utd debut would go that way!
