Benjamin Sesko scores decisive goal for Manchester United after coming off the bench to secure victory at Everton

Benjamin Sesko isn’t fussed about being tagged a “super sub” at Manchester United.

The 22-year-old Slovenian forward insists that helping Michael Carrick’s side from the bench suits him just fine — especially when he’s making decisive contributions in crucial moments.

Making the Impact When It Matters

Sesko’s impact has been clear in recent matches.

At Everton, he came on just before the hour and scored the only goal of the game, his sixth in seven appearances.

He also netted the winner in a 3-2 victory over Fulham and scored a last-minute equaliser at West Ham, proving he can change the outcome of games in just a few minutes.

Despite growing calls for him to start matches regularly, Sesko isn’t sweating it.

“I’m getting settled in the league from game to game,” he said.

“I’m not even thinking about ‘I have to start.’

Whenever the coach decides to put me on, I’m going to be ready.

Even five minutes, I’ll use them to help the team.”

Patience and Focus Are Key

The forward’s calm, measured approach stands in contrast to the clamor outside Old Trafford.

Fans and pundits alike want Carrick to adjust his starting XI to feature Sesko immediately, but the player himself is focused on performing when called upon.

“It’s more about showing up when it’s important.

No matter how many minutes I get, my focus is on delivering and helping the team secure wins,” he explained.

United’s Goal Surge This Season

Manchester United’s attack has seen a dramatic turnaround compared to last season, when the team managed only 44 Premier League goals.

Already this campaign, they’ve surpassed that total with 48 goals, a spike partly credited to a summer recruitment spree that included Sesko (£73.7m), Bryan Mbeumo (£65m), and Matheus Cunha (£62.5m).

Even with such hefty price tags, Sesko says the pressure hasn’t weighed on him or his fellow arrivals.

“If you want to play at the highest level, pressure is part of the privilege. It’s something you accept.

It didn’t affect me, and I don’t think it affected Cunha or Bryan either,” he said.

Growing With Carrick

Under Michael Carrick’s management, Sesko feels supported and confident.

“We are talking, of course, but he believes in me, everyone believes in me.

They are preparing me to start as soon as possible,” he said.

For now, the emphasis is on readiness, contribution, and patience — the Slovenian knows good things come to those who wait.

What’s Next?

Sesko is expected to continue coming off the bench for United in upcoming Premier League fixtures, with fans eager to see when Carrick will hand him a starting role.

With United’s attacking line showing signs of cohesion and potency, Sesko’s ability to influence games in limited minutes could prove vital as the club pursues top-four and cup ambitions.

Summary

Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United’s £73.7million Slovenian forward, is thriving as a super sub, scoring crucial goals and helping Michael Carrick’s team secure wins.

Despite calls for him to start regularly, Sesko remains patient, focused on impact over minutes, and confident under Carrick’s guidance.

His arrival, alongside other big signings, has contributed to a marked improvement in United’s goal tally and attacking performance this season.
