Benjamin Šeško has sent the perfect message following his impressive performance for Manchester United in their win over Sunderland.
Manchester United earned a 2-0 victory over Sunderland at Old Trafford, with two first-half goals proving decisive in their Premier League clash.
Mason Mount opened the scoring early with a precise strike from the edge of the box, before Benjamin Šeško doubled the advantage soon after, converting from Diogo Dalot’s long throw on the right.
Sunderland thought they had a way back into the match when a penalty was awarded just before the interval, but the decision was overturned following a VAR review at the pitch-side monitor.
The second half produced few clear chances, but United remained in control throughout and saw the game out comfortably to record their third league win of the season.
Šeško sends the perfect message after United vs Sunderland
Šeško’s goal was a typical striker’s finish and it means that he has scored in back-to-back games, which should help his confidence.
That wasn’t the only impressive part of his game on Saturday though, with the forward showing solid hold-up and link-up ability, something that the Reds have been missing in recent years upfront.
Even though supporters are pleased with Šeško, he has sent the perfect message and suggested that he will improve more going forward.
“No, not yet,” replied Šeško when asked by MUTV if we are starting to see the best of him. “There is loads [more] to come, definitely.
“I’m still getting used to it more and more to read the players, be connected with them even more, so I believe I can be even better and I will try to show that.”
Šeško and Lammens tasked with the basics
The additions of Šeško and Senne Lammens were important for United in the summer as they needed a goalkeeper and striker. Those were the two biggest problem positions last term.
Due to how previous players performed in those roles, the expectations for the new signings are not actually that high.
Both players just need to bring the basics – Lammens with simple shot-stopping and the ability to command his area and Šeško with the ability to link play and grab some goals.
No one is expecting either of them to be at an incredible level soon but it seems like Šeško has the right mentality as he wants to keep improving and showing his ability.
