Michael Carrick is weighing whether to hand Benjamin Sesko a starting spot against Crystal Palace following the striker’s crucial goal-scoring run and pointed celebration at Everton.
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick faces a critical decision regarding Benjamin Sesko ahead of Sunday’s clash with Crystal Palace.
Despite a stellar record of five wins in six games, the “good vibes” at Carrington are being tested by the Slovenian striker’s undeniable form.
Sesko has netted six goals in seven matches, with his latest strike against Everton sparking an “angry” celebration interpreted as a message.
Carrick must decide whether to start the £73.7million signing or stick with Bryan Mbeumo as the central attacker.
While the manager claims to have “a really good relationship with Ben,” the pressure to start the 22-year-old is mounting.
“It’s one of those decisions that we got to try and get right,” Carrick admitted, acknowledging the difficulty of managing high-profile egos during United’s Champions League push.
