Rio Ferdinand Backs Sesko, Cites Saha-Like Value Beyond Goals

The United great frames the £74m signing’s impact within a post-injury return that has limited his scoring.

Overview

  • Ferdinand compares Benjamin Sesko to Louis Saha, praising hold-up play and actions that help team-mates more than raw goal tallies.
  • Sesko has produced two goals and one assist in roughly 14–15 appearances since joining from RB Leipzig in the summer.
  • Ruben Amorim urges patience following Sesko’s November layoff, saying the striker will improve as minutes build after his recent return.
  • Teddy Sheringham has questioned United’s strategy, arguing the club asked too much of Sesko and should have pursued Harry Kane.
  • United invested nearly £200m in attacking recruits, including Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo alongside Sesko, heightening expectations for immediate impact.
