He's going to struggle': Amorim relaxed despite Sesko's lack of United form

"He has no experience here, and when everyone says that you are the next big thing, you hear that. If you don't perform every week, you are going to hear from club legends, from pundits, the media, and sometimes they are right. The ability to understand that this is normal and maintain your confidence is really hard for a kid, and especially for a kid that wants to control everything."

"struggled a little bit so let's embrace that. It's not personal that's what I try to explain to the players. It's an opinion that [could] change in a few weeks. What is true today, in three weeks could be different. My advice to Ben is you are going to get used to [hearing such opinions] and then it's going to be natural be like your Monday here. So we are going to help and protect Ben because he works so hard and wants to succeed."

Benjamin Sesko has scored two goals in 11 appearances for Manchester United since joining from RB Leipzig for £73.7m in August, and is experiencing a dip in form and mounting pressure. Head coach Ruben Amorim accepts the struggle is part of football and says Sesko lacks experience and must learn to handle external criticism from club legends, pundits and media while maintaining confidence. Sesko prepares meticulously, arriving at training by 8am and often leaving at 4pm. Amorim advises treating criticism as routine and pledges to help and protect the forward as he adapts. Amorim also indicated Bruno Fernandes may face more rotation if European fixtures return.
