Why Sesko will be different to Hojlund |...

Rio Ferdinand Presents
About this episode

Rio, Joel and Ste get together ahead of Arsenal’s visit to Old Trafford for the first game of the season to discuss how they think their teams will fare this season.


There’s discussion about how the signing of Gyokeres could put Arteta’s job under more scrutiny and Joel reveals what he feels the Spaniard needs to achieve this season in order to be considered successful.


Rio and Ste analyse the improvements made to Manchester United’s forward line and compare the arrival of Benjamin Sesko to when Rasmus Hojlund joined the club. The stats of their seasons before arriving at Old Trafford are strikingly similar so the trio discuss why and how Sesko can enjoy a more fruitful time at the club.


Ste has a left-field shout for a last-minute free signing - Rio’s not convinced but does compare one of Ruben Amorim's current players to a main-stay of the successful team from the Champions League winning era he enjoyed whilst playing for Sir Alex Ferguson.
