"As a forward player I'd always be my biggest critic, Walcott said on BBC. How many crosses did I get in? How many shots did I have? Did I beat my man? Benjamin Sesko isn't contributing much at the moment and Manchester United don't seem to be playing to his strengths. But there is still time. The former England international believes that while Sesko has yet to hit top form, his potential remains undeniable."
"Sesko's poor performance against Spurs is getting a lot of attention and rightly so. The striker had two golden chances to score for his team against Thomas Frank's side but his failure to capitalise on chances proved costly for Man United in the end. A match which Ruben Amorim's side were winning at one stage and looking comfortable, they managed to finish with a 2-2 draw and although they scored an equaliser in the 96th minute through Matthijs de Ligt,"
Benjamin Sesko missed two gilt-edged chances in the Spurs game, contributing to Manchester United drawing 2-2 despite Matthijs de Ligt's 96th-minute equaliser. The 21-year-old signed from RB Leipzig for £74 million in the summer and has scored just twice in 11 appearances, struggling for consistent impact. Theo Walcott urged patience, noting that strikers tend to be their own harshest critics and suggesting that United may not currently be playing to Sesko's strengths. Walcott drew parallels with Thierry Henry and Olivier Giroud to emphasise that elite forwards sometimes need time to adapt and fulfil potential. Walcott's Premier League experience informs his view on the pressure facing a young striker at a major club.
