Ruben Amorim insists Benjamin Sesko will succeed despite Gary Neville criticism

The 22-year-old has scored twice in his first 11 appearances and former captain Neville said after last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest that he looks “awkward” and “well off it”.

Ruben Amorim is convinced “control freak” Benjamin Sesko will succeed at Manchester United after Gary Neville claimed the striker was “well off it” compared to their other attacking arrivals.

A lack of goals proved costly during a wretched 2024-25 campaign, leading the Red Devils to splash out up to £207.2million to bring in three new forward players during their summer rebuild.
