Benjamin Sesko's Burnley Brace Splits Opinion After Manchester United Draw

The €76.5m signing delivered his most convincing statistical performance of the season, prompting sharply different assessments on air.

Overview

  • Sesko scored twice in Manchester United's 2-2 draw at Burnley and was named man of the match.
  • His display featured seven shots on target and 13 touches in the box, marking his standout game since joining from RB Leipzig.
  • He became one of only two players in the last 10 Premier League seasons, alongside Harry Kane, to register seven shots on target and win seven duels in a single match.
  • Tim Sherwood said he would have removed Sesko at half-time and claimed he is not good enough for United, reiterating the view after full-time.
  • Praise came from other quarters as Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp lauded the performance, and Marcus Rashford signaled support by liking Sesko’s post celebrating the goals.
