After two Premier League matches, Manchester United has only one point, is already five less than Arsenal, his first executioner of the season. Another London club hung the Red Devils on Sunday on the 2nd day of the championship. Fulham deprived Mu of victory, thanks to an equalization in the second period signed Emile Smith-Rowe (1-1, 73rd). Before that, Lenny Yoro had caused a goal against his Rodrigo Muniz camp on a corner struck by Bryan Mbeumo (0-1, 58th). Again, the Mancunians have absolutely not convinced in the game, Ruben Amorim struggling to print his paw, in line with this trying 2024-2025 season.
The recruits could not tip the match in favor of United, starting with Benjamin Sesko. Recruited at gold prices (65 million euros) at RB Leipzig, the Slovenian international has not yet had the chance to start a first league meeting. On Sunday, it was again at the end of the bench that he walked the lawn of Craven Cottage. And unfortunately for the great attacker (1.95 m), nothing was simple.
38 Famelic minutes
Sesko seemed somewhat lost, at ease or dropping out, nor in the last meters. In 38 minutes, he did not take any shot, did not succeed in any dribbling and was satisfied with 9 short passes, without winning duels other than in the air. Against Arsenal, his performance had already been quite shy. Ruben Amorim justified his choice not to immediately launch the former Bundesliga by a lack of automatisms with his partners.
“Benjamin has been with us for two weeks. He tries to understand everything we do. You have to be a little patient. We just want to win the match and help all our players ”, said Amorim on Skysports.
Benjamin Sesko is in any case not the only player in the workforce to need to understand how to operate according to the desires of Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese seems to be carte blanche and the leisure to experiment, but the classification may quickly encourage the direction to press it a little to find the right formula.
