Manchester United great Strachan hasn’t been too impressed with summer signing Sesko so far

Despite some major business in the summer transfer window, Manchester United have had a sluggish start to the Premier League campaign. While some signings, such as Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo have shown moments of class, the jury is still out on young striker Benjamin Sesko, signed from RB Leipzig in August. Gordon Strachan has urged patience with Manchester United’s new No. 9, but admits he remains unconvinced by the young striker’s early performances.

“Benjamin Sesko has looked tentative, to say the very least, ” Strachan tells Four Four Two on behalf of Esports News. “He’s still a young player, but I’m not sure about him at the moment. You have to give young players more time, but I haven’t seen anything from him so far since he joined that has shown much promise. ” In contrast, Strachan has been far more impressed by United’s other attacking additions. Mbeumo, signed from Brentford, and Cunha, who arrived from Wolves, have both hit the ground running, with the former Scotland manager singling Mbeumo out as the standout of the trio. “The other attacking signings, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, have looked much better - Mbeumo in particular, ” he says. “He’s made the difference on a few occasions for United already and he has an honesty about his game that I really like. He has really stepped up in the last few games against Liverpool, Brighton and Spurs. He could be very important for United this season. ” With Mbeumo regularly among the goals and Cunha offering energy and invention, Strachan believes Sesko must now rise to the level set by his teammates.
