Benjamin Sesko caught the eye of his Manchester United teammates for one standout detail that he showed amid a training session at the Carrington training complex.
The 22-year-old Slovenian forward has had a slow start to life at Old Trafford after his big-money move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
Benjamin Sesko has made six appearances for the Red Devils across all competitions since his summer move and has not found the back of the net for United.
The Slovenina international’s drought extended to last Saturday’s result after Ruben Amorim was forced to make a tactical change in United’s 2-1 win over Chelsea.
Casemiro was sent off in the first half at Old Trafford and United manager Ruben Amorim had to sacrifice Sesko for the second half by bringing on Manuel Ugarte.

Despite being hooked off early in United’s 2-1 Premier League win over Chelsea, Sesko did well to link up with fellow summer signing Bryan Mbeumo in the first half.
Sesko flicked the ball on from a header and played through Bryan Mbeumo, who was one-on-one with Robert Sanchez before the Chelsea ‘keeper wiped him out.
Robert Sanchez was sent off for his challenge on former Brentford star Mbeumo and United capitalised on their numbers advantage by taking a 2-0 lead in the first half.
Manchester United’s official website revealed that the Red Devils players took part in a training session at Carrington on Tuesday, only days after the Chelsea result.
Sesko was involved in United’s training session and the Slovenian international’s performance was documented for the Red Devils’ ‘Inside Story’ feature.
“Benjamin Sesko looked very sharp in front of goal, displaying a variety of finishes, including an emphatic penalty he won during the practice game,” Adam Marshall wrote.

Adam Marshall revealed that United players were put through different drills on Tuesday, including being split up for sessions of rondos and head tennis.
During the tactical drills at Carrington, different United players impressed and Sesko’s finishing spoke volumes with the reaction he received from his teammates.
“It was telling how much encouragement there was in general, but the Slovenia striker’s clinical marksmanship drew appreciative ripples of applause and shouts of, ‘Yes, Ben,’ from his colleagues,” Marshall added.
Sesko arrived at United in August after the Red Devils beat Premier League side Newcastle in the race to sign the former RB Leipzig ace for an initial fee of £66.3m.
