Sesko’s First League Start for Man United Highlights Supply Issue in 3-0 Derby Defeat

Ruben Amorim urged patience over the £74m striker's adaptation.

Overview

  • Manchester City beat Manchester United 3-0 at the Etihad, with Phil Foden scoring and Erling Haaland adding a second-half brace.
  • Benjamin Sesko, signed from RB Leipzig for about £73–74m, made his first Premier League start and was substituted around the 80th minute.
  • Match data showed just 20 touches for Sesko, none in the City penalty area, and an average position that sat unusually deep.
  • Many United fans praised his hold-up play and movement but also noted he looked isolated, drawing parallels with Rasmus Hojlund’s struggles.
  • Amorim said the forward needs time to adjust and suggested United must better use his qualities as they prepare to host Chelsea next.
