Manchester Unitedโ manager Reuben Amorim Acknowledges Benjaminโ SeskoS Slow Start, โVows Support
MANCHESTER, England โค – Manchester Unitedโค manager Reuben Amorimโค has conceded โคthat forward โคBenjamin Sesko has struggled to find his form since arriving at Old Trafford last summer, but remains steadfast โin his belief the 22-year-old will ultimately succeed at the club. Amorim’s comments come after Sesko facedโ criticism following โขa limited performance against Nottingham Forest, where he recorded โjust 21 touches.
Sesko,signed from RB Leipzig for ยฃ73.7 million, has scored only two goals in 11 appearances for theโ Red Devils. Formerโค Unitedโ player and current pundit Gary Neville recently voiced his desire to see more impactโข from the Slovenianโ international, prompting Amorim to address the situation ahead โof โฃthis weekend’s match โฃagainst Tottenham hotspur.
“Of โขcourse no oneโ likes โto hear that, but he (Sesko) is โคhaving a bit of difficultyโข and that’s โคa fact. So โlet’s accept โthe condition.โฃ It’s not โpersonal, it’s nothing. That’s โwhat I tried to explain to the players,” Amorim stated, โas quoted โฃby ESPN. “It’s nothing personal. It’s โขan opinion that will change in three weeks. Everything thatโข is true โtoday, in three weeks, may not beโข true. So of โcourse, โit’s tough to hear.”
Amorim โemphasized the club’s commitment to supporting Sesko through his adaptation to the Premier League and the pressures of โคplaying forโ a high-profile club like Manchester United.
“We will help him and we will protect Ben โbecause he works veryโ hard and we want to be successful. So โฃhe will be successful,” Amorim affirmed. he acknowledged the significant pressure Sesko โคfaces, noting,โ “Ifโ you โขdon’t performโ well every week, you will hearโฃ a lot โof things fromโ club legends, from pundits, from the media, and sometimes they are right.”
Despite theโ challenges,โข Amorim remains optimisticโฃ about Sesko’s long-term future at United. “He’s going to be our striker for the long term,” he said. “He will experience difficulties and obstacles along the way,and that is normal โฃin football.”
