Benjamin Šeško’s agent has provided a positive update on the striker’s recovery while also offering a glowing assessment of Manchester United’s current project under Ruben Amorim. Speaking on Slovenian television, with quotes supplied by Global Game Media, Elvis Basanović addressed the forward’s rehabilitation, United’s summer transfer business, and the long-term vision being implemented at Old Trafford.

With United still in a transitional phase under new management, Basanović’s comments offered reassurance on both the condition of his client and the direction of the club. He praised the patience being shown by the manager, highlighted the need for time for attacking partnerships to develop, and insisted the club is moving steadily towards becoming Premier League title contenders once again.

His remarks reflect growing optimism behind the scenes, even if immediate success is not being demanded. Instead, the focus appears firmly on steady progression, cohesion within the squad, and trust in the process being led by Amorim.

Šeško injury update: “We’ll see him back very soon”

Basanović first addressed concerns surrounding Šeško’s availability, confirming that the striker’s recovery is progressing well and offering hope that his return is not far away.

“Benjamin is feeling very well. His rehabilitation is progressing according to plan,” Basanović explained.

However, while the update was positive, the agent stopped short of offering a precise return date, stressing that the final decision will remain with United’s medical team and the manager.

“It’s hard to say precisely when he will return. That will be up to the medical staff and the manager, but I think we’ll see him back on the pitch very soon. Maybe even sooner than expected.”

The update will be welcomed by United supporters, particularly given the importance of attacking cohesion within Amorim’s system. With multiple forwards still adjusting to playing together, Šeško’s eventual return could provide another significant boost to the squad’s attacking depth.

Backing United’s rebuild and belief in Amorim’s charisma

Beyond injury matters, Basanović used the opportunity to strongly back Manchester United’s broader rebuild and the work being done under Ruben Amorim. The agent praised the club’s summer transfer business, describing their recruitment as both ambitious and promising.

“Manchester United did well in the transfer market this summer. They brought in some excellent players who will prove over the next few years that they deserve to wear this shirt,” he said.

While acknowledging the expectations that always surround a club of United’s stature, Basanović was clear that instant success is unrealistic – and patience will be required.

“We all want them to compete for the league title, but we can’t expect that to happen overnight. Every project needs time and the right decisions, and I think they are on the right track.”

Looking further ahead, the agent outlined a timeline that reflects cautious optimism rather than immediate pressure.

“I believe that within the next two years, United can challenge for the very top spots.”

Basanović was equally effusive in his praise of Amorim as both a coach and a person, highlighting the Portuguese manager’s leadership qualities and character.

“Ruben is an excellent person with fantastic charisma. He is extremely intelligent, emotionally intelligent. He knows what he is doing.”

He also acknowledged the scale of the task facing the United boss.

“I believe it’s not easy to build such a project, one that requires an enormous amount of patience. United is one of the biggest, if not the biggest club in the world.”

The agent went on to emphasise Amorim’s honesty and professionalism, suggesting those qualities form the foundation of the club’s long-term strategy.

“He is a very honest person. A good man, everything he does, he does with good intentions. He is also exceptionally professional, and I believe he is an outstanding coach. He has his own vision and knows how to bring United back to the top.”

Once again, patience was central to his message.

“But he needs time, which is difficult to explain in such a big club. Everyone wants immediate results, but this team and Ruben deserve time. Progress is clear compared to last season, and I believe next year will be even better. Another year later, we can realistically expect a push for the Premier League title.”

Attacking partnerships still developing

Basanović also addressed the importance of chemistry within United’s forward line, highlighting that attacking combinations require time and repetition to reach full effectiveness. He pointed specifically to Cunha, Mbeumo and Šeško, who have not yet had the opportunity to build sustained momentum together.

“Cunha, Mbeumo and Šeško have played very few matches together. They need games, certain automatisms, and then things become easier,” he explained.

The agent underlined that understanding between attackers is a gradual process, with habits only forming through regular match exposure.

“When you don’t have to think about where a player is or where he’s going to run, but you do it automatically. Then the results come, and everything looks much better.”

Those comments underline why United’s hierarchy appears prepared to take a longer-term view of their attacking development, rather than demand instant chemistry from players who are still learning each other’s movement and positioning.

With Šeško’s return drawing closer and belief growing in Amorim’s long-term vision, Basanović’s comments reflect a broader sense of patience surrounding Manchester United’s rebuild. While supporters may crave immediate success, the message from those close to the project is clear: progress is being made, but true contention will take time.
