"Making an incredible impact from the bench, Sesko began the month of February with a late winner against Fulham. The Slovenian scored another late goal against West Ham to salvage a point, with that finish being voted United's Goal of the Month. On Monday night, Sesko added to his tally with a match-winner against Everton after coming on as a substitute."
"That means Sesko scored three goals from four substitute appearances in February, which was enough to earn him the Player of the Month award for the first time since his transfer from RB Leipzig. Sesko saw off competition from Senne Lammens and Harry Maguire for the award, receiving 61% of the fans' vote."
"Despite scoring three goals for United since Carrick returned as head coach, Sesko has yet to start a game for the 44-year-old. That could change this weekend as Sesko continues to knock on Carrick's door with impressive displays and goals from the bench."
Benjamin Sesko has made a significant impact at Manchester United since Michael Carrick's arrival as head coach, scoring three goals in February despite appearing only as a substitute. All three goals were dramatic late winners or crucial equalizers: a winner against Fulham, an equalizer against West Ham that was voted Goal of the Month, and a match-winner against Everton. This impressive form earned Sesko the Player of the Month award with 61% of fan votes, ahead of Senne Lammens (33%) and Harry Maguire (6%). The question now facing Carrick is whether Sesko deserves a starting role, particularly for the upcoming match against Crystal Palace. Additionally, three United players received Premier League awards for milestone achievements.
