Overview
- Ruben Amorim said he is relaxed about Benjamin Sesko’s start, calling the striker a “control freak” who puts in long days and will face natural bumps as he adapts but will succeed.
- After Manchester United’s 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest, Gary Neville said Sesko looked “well off it” and “awkward” compared with other attacking arrivals.
- Dimitar Berbatov urged a more constructive tone, warning that constant harsh criticism can erode a young player’s confidence and arguing Sesko has the attributes to thrive.
- Sesko has scored two Premier League goals in 10 games and two in 11 appearances overall as Amorim eases him into the side.
- United paid about £74m to sign Sesko from RB Leipzig after Rasmus Hojlund left on loan, with expectations intensified by strong early displays from Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, the league’s October Player of the Month.
