“Benjamin Sesko sends a message to Michael Carrick after heroic deeds for Manchester United.”

A thrilling and decisive performance by Benjamin Sesko against Everton in the last round of the Premier League did not go unnoticed and has placed significant pressure on the interim manager of Manchester United, Michael Carrick. Former Red Devils player Gary Neville had no doubts in stating that Sesko’s inclusion in the starting lineup is a decision that “has to be made.” After scoring a crucial goal that secured his team’s victory, the young forward sent a clear message to everyone: he is ready to be a key player.

In a match where Sesko came on as a substitute, his ability to make decisive contributions in critical moments was once again highlighted. The goal he scored in the 71st minute not only raised his tally to six goals in seven matches but also solidified his status as a name to watch in the race for the league’s top scorer. Interestingly, five of those goals have come in the Premier League, where he has become the player with the most non-penalty goals so far in 2026, including three (two winners and one equalizer) in just 84 minutes of play over the last four matches.

Neville praised the play that culminated in Sesko’s goal, describing it as “one of the best counter-attack goals you can see.” The move was a perfect example of what Manchester United can be in transition, and the forward did not hesitate to celebrate with a clenched fist and a shout of release in front of the fans who traveled to the stadium. “I liked his celebration because it showed an aggression I would like to see more often,” commented Neville, highlighting Sesko’s impressive height of 1.92m, which he believes should be used to dominate on the pitch.

The former left-back of Manchester United emphasized that Sesko’s attitude, which previously seemed a bit shy, now possesses a new strength and confidence. “He is starting to show a bit more power and speed when he takes off, and that is visible in his movements on the field,” said Neville. In the commentator’s opinion, Sesko’s celebration was not just an expression of joy, but rather a clear statement: “Put me in the starting lineup, this is my moment!”

As Manchester United prepares for the next challenge, the pressure for Carrick to include Benjamin Sesko in the starting lineup is undeniable. The young forward’s impressive performance has not only boosted his profile but also left fans dreaming of a bright future for the rising star. Now, the big question that lingers is: will Carrick have the courage to give Sesko the opportunity he clearly deserves?
