Carrick: Sesko is desperate to do well here

Manchester United made it six wins in seven games on Sunday afternoon after beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Old Trafford. Despite going a goal behind, United were able to dig deep to secure the three points, with Benjamin Sesko scoring the winner again, just as he did last week against Everton.

The Slovenian now has seven goals in his last eight appearances, working out at a goal every 43 minutes, as his form has skyrocketed since the sacking of Ruben Amorim.

Speaking to the press after the Palace game, Michael Carrick spoke about how hard Sesko is working to improve.

Absolutely delighted for Ben. He’s had a huge impact and he’s making big improvements. A little bit is getting used to what it is like to be here and the feelings and what it means to play. Things that we can take for granted at times. He’s desperate to do well, he works so hard, he’s an absolute pleasure to work with. Today, he started and it was it was an absolutely fantastic goal, he’s bringing an awful lot. We’ve got good flexibility across the top line. The front players can play different roles within the game, so there’s a lot of flexibility there. Amad took some time out today but that may change again for Wednesday, but it’s good to have those options.

Building that relationship and that trust is important when you’re trying to help players and the team. That’s on Ben, he’s put the work in, he’s stayed positive, he knows how he wants to improve, he’s pretty clear on that, but he’s a good player, that’s why he’s here. He’s got some great strengths. He’s such a real threat. I’m really excited about where he can get to, without getting too carried away. He’s got huge potential, he’s so young, it’s still early days but he’s doing fantastic at the moment.
