"Manchester United are in a state of turmoil once again. The decision to sack Ruben Amorim has failed to deliver an immediate turnaround, with results under interim boss Darren Fletcher doing little to ease the growing frustration around Old Trafford. A scrappy 2-2 draw with Burnley was followed by a damaging 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Brighton, leaving supporters searching desperately for something, anything, to feel positive about. Amid the chaos, however, one encouraging storyline has emerged. Benjamin Sesko has finally started scoring goals."
"The contrast in Sesko's form before and after Amorim's departure is stark. Under Amorim, the striker was absolutely poor. In fact, Sesko's last goal under Amorim came back in October 2025, against Sunderland. Under Amorim: He averaged a goal only once every four or five games. Post-Amorim: He has three goals in just two games. While the sample size remains small, the shift is impossible to ignore. Sesko is finally performing at a level that reflects the significant fee United paid for him last summer."
Manchester United remain in turmoil after the sacking of Ruben Amorim, with interim boss Darren Fletcher failing to produce an immediate turnaround. A 2-2 draw with Burnley and a 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Brighton have deepened supporter frustration. Benjamin Sesko has emerged as a rare positive, scoring three goals in two matches since Amorim's departure, including a brace against Burnley and a goal against Brighton. Sesko looks sharper, more aggressive, and freer in movement. Under Amorim, Sesko had struggled, netting once every four to five games and last scoring in October 2025 against Sunderland. The sample is small, but the contrast is clear and suggests Sesko may be reaching the level expected for his transfer fee.
