Slovenia striker Benjamin Sesko has now candidly opened up on his time under Manchester United interim head coach Michael Carrick in recent weeks.
Benjamin Sesko has not started a single Premier League match since Michael Carrick returned to Old Trafford as Manchester United interim head coach in January.
Prove me wrong: Michael Carrick has already shown enough to become permanent Man United manager.
13 points from 15 would be title winning form over a full season…
The 22-year-old Slovenian forward was an unused substitute in Man Utd’s 2-0 win over Manchester City at Old Trafford, which was Carrick’s first match in charge.
Sesko has featured in Carrick’s subsequent four Premier League matches as United interim manager and the striker has had a meaningful impact for his side.
The Slovenia international climbed off the bench earlier this month and Sesko netted a stunning injury-time winner in Man Utd’s encounter with Fulham at Old Trafford.
Sesko came to the Red Devils’ rescue again earlier this week, with the former RB Leipzig ace scoring a sensational equaliser in Man Utd’s 1-1 draw with West Ham.
