Benjamin Sesko was on the radar of Manchester United fans after his performance in the 2-1 win against Crystal Palace in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

Manchester United hosted Crystal Palace at Old Trafford and the Eagles took the lead in only the fourth minute after Maxence Lacroix fired his side in front.

Brennan Johnson picked out Maxence Lacroix and the Palace star escaped Leny Yoro’s marking before burying his header past Senne Lammens into the far corner.

United fought back against Palace late in the first half at Old Trafford, but Lacroix’s opener ensured that Oliver Glasner’s men took their lead into the half-time break.

However, United completed their comeback in the second half of their Premier League tie after Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko both netted against Palace.

Man Utd fans’ verdict on Benjamin Sesko after the Premier League result against Crystal Palace spoke volumes

Posting on United In Focus’ TalkingPoints platform, Manchester United fans were in complete awe at the impact that striker Benjamin Sesko had against Crystal Palace.

A Red Devils supporter wrote: “Sesko on target again and up to 3rd in the table and could be a sterner test on Wednesday against Newcastle.”

“Sesko [is] going to haunt the club [Newcastle] he almost signed for on Wednesday,” another Man Utd fan posted.

While a third TalkingPoints user commented: “In this form, he certainly looks unplayable. Here’s to him keeping up this form.”

And a fifth suggested: “Sesko [was Man of the Match].”

A sixth added: “Wasn’t in the game too much in the first half, but the second 45 [minutes]… Wow. What a guy.”
