Manchester United united in defending Benjamin Sesko

Harry Maguire insists that Benjamin Sesko will cause problems for Premier League defenders, while stressing that Manchester United’s team will wholeheartedly back the £74 million recruit.

Harry Maguire believes that Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United’s £74 million (99 million USD) signing, will soon prove his worth despite a start at Old Trafford that fell short of expectations. The 21-year-old striker is seen as a major hope up front, but his initial performances have sparked debate.

Sesko made his debut coming off the bench in the Premier League opener against Arsenal, then played 37 minutes in the 1-1 draw with Fulham. In both appearances, he showed little impact, raising questions about whether the young player is ready to carry the Red Devils’ number 9 responsibility.

In response to the wave of doubt, Maguire spoke out in defense of his teammate: “He’s an outstanding player for his age. I’m confident Sesko will give defenders a lot of trouble. He has all the qualities to contribute to the team for many years ahead, and we will fully support him.”

Casemiro agreed, emphasizing that patience is essential: “Clearly, Sesko has quality. If things go well, he will score goals and be a great asset to us.” Meanwhile, Diogo Dalot praised Sesko’s spirit and energy: “He’s eager to play, always willing to learn and give his best. I believe he will be an important contributor to the team.”

Expectations for Sesko are very high, especially since Man Utd previously spent heavily on big-name signings like Romelu Lukaku and Antony who didn’t meet expectations. Therefore, all eyes are closely watching the young Slovenian striker’s every move.

The upcoming League Cup second-round match against Grimsby this week, along with the Premier League home game versus Burnley, will offer Sesko a chance to prove himself. If he takes full advantage, he can not only relieve the pressure but also open a new chapter in his journey at Old Trafford.
