The reason Sesko was on the bench against Liverpool

Before the match, many MU fans were upset when Sesko – who had scored in the last two matches – was unexpectedly left out of the starting lineup. Some even said that this decision could cost Amorim against Liverpool.

Instead of trusting Sesko, Amorim gave Matheus Cunha a chance in the center forward position. Although he did not score, the Brazilian striker made an important contribution to the game, helping the "Red Devils" create many dangerous situations and finally leave Anfield with 3 full points.

After the match, Amorim shared about his bold decision: “In difficult moments, you have to trust your intuition. Sometimes the nature of the match forces us to change our approach. With Cunha in the middle, we create more flexibility, but with Sesko, Liverpool's tall central defenders will be easier to control."

Sesko came on in the 61st minute to replace Mason Mount, but in his 29 minutes on the pitch, he did not score or assist. The Slovenian striker only had one shot that missed the target. In the end, MU won 2-1 against Liverpool.

This is the first time since 2016 that the "Red Devils" have won all 3 points at Anfield, and is also the second consecutive victory in the Premier League under Amorim.
