Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has explained his decision to omit Benjamin Sesko and Andre Onana from his starting XI to face Fulham on Sunday.
Sesko is yet to start for the Red Devils since he completed a £73.7m move from RB Leipzig.
For Onana, this is the first time he appears on the United bench, as he makes a return from injury.
Amorim was asked about the decisions and he told Sky Sports: “It’s the same kind of decision a manager has to do.
“I try to see the game, I try to imagine the next game. I try to put the best players to win the game. So I did that.”
On Sesko being named on the bench, Amorim added: “We try to imagine what is going to happen during the game. Our game needs to be consistent, the way we control the game. We need to have options to play a different game from the bench.
“Sesko has had two weeks with us so he’s trying to understand everything. I try to understand how these small things are for the player. I talk to the players often and sometimes we need to wait a little bit in order to help the player. We just want to win the game.”
