Gary Lineker makes Sesko Man United transfer prediction after Neville comments
Manchester United extended their unbeaten Premier League run to four matches but had to settle for a draw against Nottingham Forest, where Benjamin Sesko endured a difficult outing. The Slovenian forward, who joined from RB Leipzig for £74 million last summer, has scored twice and provided one assist in ten league appearances so far, as manager Ruben Amorim gradually integrates the 22-year-old into the squad.
Sesko seemed to find form before the international break with goals against Brentford and Sunderland, yet his momentum stalled at the City Ground. Former United defender Gary Neville shared his uncertainty about the striker’s progress.
"I'm no further forward with him. The jury is out," Neville told NBC Sports after the draw with Forest. "He's well off it compared to the other summer signings that Man United made up front in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. He looks awkward, he had a couple of really good opportunities in the first half – when balls got played over the top and his touch wasn't quite right. For £80 million, you can say he's young or has a lot of potential and is still settling in, but you still want to see a bit more."
Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, Gary Lineker echoed Neville’s thoughts, noting that Amorim’s other forward options appear more adapted to the team’s system so far.
"I would say they are slightly better. I think they are moving in the right direction," Lineker said, referring to Cunha and Mbeumo’s quicker adjustment compared to Sesko.
