An apology to Sesko

Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has publicly admitted his mistake in underestimating striker Benjamin Sesko.

Highlights Newcastle 2-1 MU: In the early hours of March 5th, Newcastle, despite playing with ten men, showed their mettle to defeat Manchester United in the 29th round of the Premier League.

Last summer, Sesko arrived at Old Trafford from RB Leipzig for a fee of £74 million, when the team was still managed by Ruben Amorim. However, under the Portuguese manager, Sesko only scored a meager 2 goals in 17 appearances and frequently disappointed.

It was that lackluster performance that led former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood to declare on Sky Sports in January that Sesko "wasn't good enough to play for Manchester United." He even compared him to the failed signing Wout Weghorst.

However, after the spectacular transformation of the 22-year-old striker under Michael Carrick, manager Sherwood had to change his mind. In a recent podcast, he admitted: "I judged Sesko based on what he showed under Amorim. But now I was wrong and I have to apologize to him."

Coach Sherwood apologized to Sesko.

The big turning point came when Carrick took over as interim manager. The former Manchester United midfielder helped Sesko maximize his strengths in speed and acceleration.

According to The Athletic , the striker even proactively went to Dubai alone for training to improve his finishing ability and acceleration from a standstill. The results were quickly apparent.

In the 1-0 victory against Everton, Sesko sprinted almost halfway across the pitch before scoring the winning goal. Then, against Crystal Palace, he rose high to deliver a powerful header, giving goalkeeper Dean Henderson no chance to save it.

Unfortunately, Sesko couldn't score in his fourth consecutive game for MU as the team suffered a 1-2 defeat against Newcastle in the 29th round of the Premier League on the morning of March 5th. Nevertheless, the striker is gradually proving himself worthy of the trust of the MU management.
