"Asked in November about the 22-year-old striker, signed for £73.7 million from RB Leipzig in the summer, Amorim said it was "a fact" that he had "struggled" to come to terms with the Premier League. The view from above was that the comments weren't helpful to a young player trying to adapt to a tough league in a new country."
""I'm delighted for Ben," said Carrick. "We're working closely with him and connecting with him and building that relationship and trust. A lot is on Ben. He has put the work in. He is a good player and he has got some great strengths and scoring different types of goals.""
"Sesko is not just scoring -- he's scoring important goals. In his last three games, he's got a stoppage-time equaliser against West Ham United, the winner against Everton and another winner against Palace."
Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United's £73.7 million striker from RB Leipzig, initially struggled under manager Ruben Amorim, scoring only two goals in 17 games. Amorim's public comments about Sesko's difficulties adapting to the Premier League drew criticism from club leadership. Following Amorim's departure in early January, Sesko's performance dramatically improved under interim manager Carrick. He scored seven goals in eight games, including crucial match-winning goals against Everton and Crystal Palace, plus a stoppage-time equalizer against West Ham. Carrick praised Sesko's work ethic and potential, emphasizing the importance of building trust and connection with the young striker.
