Sesko makes impact from the bench as United push Arsenal at Old Trafford
Manchester United gave Arsenal a stern test at Old Trafford, with a pair of attackers driving the hosts forward and leaving the Gunners on edge, even as United ultimately fell short. Benjamin Sesko, brought on to replace Mason Mount for the final 30 minutes, produced a lively cameo that caught the eye of observers. The Slovenian forward’s contribution off the bench was highlighted by Mikael Silvestre, the former United defender and occasional MUTV pundit, in a discussion with club media a couple of days after the game.
Mount had started the contest and Sesko’s late introduction helped United maintain pressure, as the pair looked to create chances and stretch Arsenal’s backline.
What to watch next: Sesko’s impact from the bench could influence United’s attacking options going forward, while Silvestre’s remarks may bolster the Slovenian striker’s growing reputation among United supporters.
Summary: United’s late-pressing approach, spearheaded by Mount and Sesko, impressed even though Arsenal prevailed. Silvestre’s praise of Sesko underscores a positive impression from a promising cameo.
Additional comments: The matchup showcased United’s depth in attack and provided a platform for Sesko to showcase his potential as a bench threat. If his form continues, he could become a valuable option in rotation for the forward line.
