Benjamin Sesko Nets First Manchester United Goal in 3-1 Defeat at Brentford

The £74m summer signing offered a more assertive display that hints at adaptation pressures easing.

Overview

  • The 22-year-old headed in from a rebound on 26 minutes to register his first goal for the club.
  • He recorded six shots with four on target, won three of six aerial duels, and completed 56% of his passes from 26 touches.
  • The display ended an initial six-game scoreless run following his move from RB Leipzig on a five-year deal.
  • Despite his output, Manchester United lost 3-1 at Brentford after conceding twice in quick succession.
  • Recent talkSPORT commentary urged patience and better service, with Troy Deeney calling for more striker “arrogance” and Micky Gray pointing to a lack of creativity around him.
