"Called into the fold with 15 minutes to play, Šeško was helpless as United's midfield wilted at Old Trafford in the absence of Casemiro, who had to cover his eyes as his teammates coughed up the 2-0 advantage he had so painstakingly created. Šeško soon rode to the rescue, delivering a 94th-minute winner in a sign of what was to unfold over the subsequent weeks."
"Against both West Ham United and Everton, the summer recruit from RB Leipzig came off the bench to score a goal which decisively changed the scoreline. Despite this form, Carrick had persisted with Bryan Mbeumo through the middle while latterly flanked by Matheus Cunha and Amad ahead of Bruno Fernandes."
"Šeško was not named in the first XI for any of Carrick's opening six matches at the helm. After watching the triumphant Manchester derby from the bench, the towering Slovenian was only given nine minutes against Arsenal before making his mark in the visit from Fulham a month ago."
Michael Carrick has named Benjamin Šeško in the starting XI for the first time, with Amad Diallo moving to the substitutes bench. Šeško, a summer signing from RB Leipzig, was initially overlooked in Carrick's opening six matches but has impressed since entering games late. He scored a 94th-minute winner against Fulham and decisive goals against West Ham and Everton off the bench. Despite Bryan Mbeumo starting through the middle with Matheus Cunha and Amad flanking Bruno Fernandes, Šeško's recent performances have earned him a starting opportunity. Amad's role has diminished following Ruben Amorim's departure, and he now pays the price for Šeško's impressive form.
