Man United‘s Sesko Impresses Potential Manager Amorim
Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim has expressed surprise at the potential of Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko, hinting at a high ceiling for the young player should he join the Portuguese club. Amorim’s comments surfaced amidst ongoing speculation linking him with the United managerial position, raising questions about his potential transfer targets should he take the helm at old Trafford.
The revelation underscores a pivotal moment for both Sesko and Manchester United. Sesko, currently on loan from RB leipzig, has shown flashes of brilliance but hasn’t consistently found the back of the net. Amorim’s assessment suggests a belief in the 20-year-old’s untapped capabilities, possibly influencing United’s long-term plans for the player and impacting any future transfer decisions.
Amorim reportedly stated his surprise stemmed from observing Sesko in training, saying, “When I start training with him, I was surprised at his potential.” This assessment contrasts with observations of Sesko’s recent performances, where his all-around game has been praised even when goals haven’t come.Sources note Sesko consistently contributes by linking up play and unsettling defenses with his movement,avoiding the pitfalls of becoming a “+1” burden when not scoring.
The contrast between Sesko’s development and that of fellow young striker Rasmus hojlund has been highlighted. While Hojlund’s goals initially masked developmental gaps, Sesko’s fundamentals are already considered strong, with goals viewed as the “final icing on the cake.” This suggests Amorim sees a player with a solid foundation ready to flourish under his guidance.
As Manchester United navigate a period of uncertainty regarding their managerial future and forward line, Amorim’s comments add another layer of intrigue to Sesko’s situation. The potential for a reunion between player and manager at either United or sporting CP remains a developing storyline.
