Benjamin Sesko: Man United striker proves he is better from the bench Since Michael Carrick arrived at the club, Benjamin Sesko has been one of the biggest contributors. Regular goals from bench The big Slovenian has been one of the most clinical strikers in the league, scoring a plethora of important goals. He grabbed a late equaliser against West Ham United and a winner away to Everton.
Sesko also scored what turned out to be the winner against Crystal Palace and Fulham. As a result, many fans have been calling for him to get a chance, and Carrick responded by leaving Cameroonian Bryan Mbeumo on the bench against Leeds United. Nonetheless, United and Sesko both struggled massively against Leeds and lost 1-2 at Old Trafford in dismal fashion.
No impact Sesko was particularly poor in the game, having three shots on goal but failing to score. To be fair, all his efforts hit the target, but he should have done much better with a headed chance when the ball went right into Karl Darlow’s hands; if it had gone either side, it would have been a goal. He did complete his only dribble attempt of the match but was unable to influence the game with any key passes.
Sesko’s isolation was also demonstrated by the fact he could only complete a mere 10 passes after 97 minutes on the pitch. The striker was also poor in ground duels, winning just one out of four attempts. He was much better in the air, however, winning a highly impressive five out of six aerial balls.
