Amorim Backs Sesko, Says Young Striker Will Be Manchester United’s Long-Term No. 9

The manager urges the 22-year-old to treat criticism as normal at a club in the spotlight.

Overview

  • Ruben Amorim acknowledged Benjamin Sesko has "struggled" early on but reiterated the club’s plan to protect him and develop his game.
  • Sesko has two goals in 11 appearances since a move from RB Leipzig reported at about £73.7m–£74m.
  • Gary Neville criticised the forward as "miles off it" and "awkward" compared with fellow signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
  • Amorim called Sesko a hardworking "control freak" and advised him to view pundit opinions as impersonal and likely to change.
  • Dimitar Berbatov defended Sesko and urged more constructive commentary as United prepare to face Tottenham.
