Overview

• The Athletic surveyed 20 agents, with six selecting Sesko as the window’s worst signing and citing a fee they said was too high and too early in his career.
• Manchester United signed the 22-year-old from RB Leipzig for around £74 million after prioritizing a new striker in the summer rebuild.
• Sesko ended an early drought by scoring against Brentford and Sunderland in successive Premier League matches before the international break.
• On Slovenia duty he did not score in a draw with Kosovo, drawing a call from coach Matjaz Kek for greater ruthlessness, while teammate Zan Karnicnik urged patience with his Premier League adaptation.
• Opinion pieces and pundits, including Wayne Rooney, point to positive indicators such as shot volume, close-range chance locations, aerial presence and hold-up play as reasons for optimism.
