"The first impact [is] when everyone says that you are so good, you are the next big thing and you hear that about Sesko. Then you come to one club that is the hardest club. If you don't perform every week, you are going to hear a lot of things from club legends, from pundits, from the media - and sometimes they are right. Of course, nobody likes to hear but he struggled a little bit, and that is a fact. So, let's embrace that."
"Sesko is understood to be spending huge amounts of time at United's Carrington training ground as he gets an understanding of the performance levels he is delivering compared to those he is required to meet. He often arrives more than 90 minutes earlier than the normal meeting time of 09:45 and does not leave until 16:00, long after most of his team-mates."
Benjamin Sesko has scored two goals in his first 11 appearances for Manchester United, last scoring at Old Trafford on 4 October. Recent performances prompted comparisons with new arrivals Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo and criticism that described Sesko as "miles off it." The criticism is acknowledged as having some substance while also lacking context because Sesko moved to a new league at age 22 after two Bundesliga seasons with RB Leipzig. Adaptation and early struggles are described as normal given limited experience in English football. Criticism is framed as opinion and changeable. Sesko is dedicating extensive time at United's Carrington training ground, arriving over 90 minutes early and often staying until 16:00 to meet required performance levels. Club sources remain confident in the decision.
