Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha were major focuses for Manchester United fans after Michael Carrick’s men had their Premier League showdown with Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Matheus Cunha fired Manchester United into the lead over Liverpool in only the sixth minute after Alexis Mac Allister’s deflection turned the ball past Freddie Woodman.
Freddie Woodman subsequently pushed Bruno Fernandes’ header onto Benjamin Sesko, with the ball bouncing off the striker before landing in the back of the net.
Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo pulled Liverpool level early in the second half against United, but Kobbie Mainoo fired the Red Devils back into the lead.
