Gary Lineker Comments on Benjamin Sesko’s Manchester United Performance
Manchester United remain unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches but managed only a draw against Nottingham Forest this weekend. Benjamin Sesko struggled to make an impact during the game.
Comparison of Sesko and Other New Signings
Gary Lineker agreed with former Manchester United defender Gary Neville’s assessment of Sesko’s start at Old Trafford following his summer transfer from RB Leipzig.
"I'm no further forward with him. The jury is out," Neville said to NBC Sports after the Forest match. "He's well off it compared to the other summer signings that Man United made up front in [Matheus] Cunha and [Bryan] Mbeumo. He looks awkward, he had a couple of really good opportunities in the first half - when balls got played over the top and his touch wasn't quite right. For £80million, you can say he's young, or has a lot of potential and he's only just settling in, but you still want to see a bit more."
Since his £74 million move, the 22-year-old Slovenian striker has recorded two goals and one assist in ten Premier League appearances. Ruben Amorim, the manager, is taking his time integrating Sesko into the team.
Sesko's Recent Form and Potential
Sesko seemed to improve before the international break, scoring against Brentford and Sunderland, but faltered again against Nottingham Forest.
On the The Rest is Football podcast, Lineker noted that Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have adapted more quickly to Amorim's style, while Sesko has shown only glimpses of promise.
"I would say they are slightly better. I think they are moving in the right direction," Lineker commented.
Summary
Sesko remains a work in progress at Manchester United, with expectations high but consistent impact yet to be delivered.
