The 85 million Euro star speaks out after MU's draw

Manchester United continued to show remarkable composure in decisive moments, earning an important point at West Ham United through Benjamin Sesko’s late equalizing goal.

Although their performance at London Stadium was not convincing, Man United still proved to be a team that is tough to overcome. Facing a West Ham side that played with a deep defensive block and was ready to counterattack, Michael Carrick’s squad struggled to establish control. Summer signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo were almost completely neutralized by the home team’s compact defense.

In reality, the dense match schedule, averaging two games per week, is causing signs of fatigue in Man United. Their intensity has been inconsistent, and their pressing ability notably weakened, especially in the second half. This explains why West Ham had several dangerous counterattack opportunities.

In this context, Benjamin Sesko once again played the hero. His composed control and precise finish in stoppage time not only saved Man United from defeat but also helped the team maintain their fourth place in the Premier League standings. This was another late goal for the Red Devils since Michael Carrick took charge, highlighting a very interesting trend.

After the match, the Slovenian forward expressed his disappointment that Man United only managed a draw. “I’m happy with my finish, but not satisfied with the draw because I know we deserved to win as the whole team fought until the very end. Sometimes, you just have unlucky days. Maybe our intensity wasn’t quite at the required level. But we kept fighting and eventually secured a draw, which is really important.”- Sesko said after the game.

According to Sesko, unity and team spirit are the “golden keys” that help Man United frequently make a difference in tough moments. Since Carrick’s appointment, the Red Devils’ dressing room is said to have become more united, with players ready to cover for each other in both attack and defense.

“We always fight together, whether we are behind or ahead. The important thing is that no one gives up.”Sesko shared. This viewpoint partly explains why Man United keeps scoring late goals despite not always dominating the game.

Looking ahead, Sesko believes Man United need to improve their energy and focus if they want to return to winning ways soon. Making the most of chances and staying alert every second of the match will be decisive factors in the Premier League top-tier race.

Based on current performances, Man United under Michael Carrick may not be perfect yet, but their never-give-up spirit and composure in critical moments are helping them maintain a competitive position. If they continue to keep this “late scoring DNA,” the Red Devils can definitely dream of a successful season.
