According to ESPN, Sesko said he feels "perfect" at Manchester United now that his shin injury has healed.

The forward joined Manchester United from RB Leipzig last August for a transfer fee of €76.5 million plus €8.5 million in add-ons. Sesko scored 12 goals for Manchester United last season but was substituted during the 3-2 victory over Liverpool in May due to an aggravated shin injury, which caused him to miss pre-season matches over the summer.

Sesko said: "We just needed a little more time, longer than usual, because if I came back too early, the problem might resurface. I think waiting a bit longer was a good decision, and now it's completely healed, so everything is perfect."

He added: "I got a knock last season, but part of it was also due to my own overuse. That's basically it."

Sesko believes he has found a balance between his muscles and running since his return. As a Slovenian international, he is also happier after a year in Manchester.

Before the derby against Manchester City, Sesko said: "Much better, especially compared to last season. I moved to a new country, and everything was new to me. Now I'm really enjoying life here, and I'm very happy. I like living here, and I have great teammates; I have almost nothing to complain about."

Sesko stated that Manchester United had been interested in him during his time at RB Leipzig and sister club Red Bull Salzburg, and even earlier when he was 16 and playing for his home country's team, NK Domžale.

Regarding his decision-making process, Sesko said: "If I had jumped directly from Austria or Slovenia to Manchester United, it would have been too big a step for me, so I needed these steps to improve gradually, and now I'm finally here."
