Gary Lineker has raised questions about the limited playing time given to Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko during Manchester United's recent derby loss to Manchester City. In a match where the team struggled to make an impact up front, Sesko came on as a substitute in the 67th minute, despite having scored in United's previous games against Everton and Sabah. Lineker pointed out that while other players like Bryan Mbeumo, Marcus Rashford, and Kobbie Mainoo had opportunities, the team lacked the necessary strength in attack to challenge City. Sesko had been a key player for United last season under interim manager Michael Carrick, scoring 10 goals in 15 appearances. However, this season, he has only featured as a substitute in the club's first four Premier League matches. Meanwhile, Matheus Cunha has been the main attacking option under Carrick, despite not scoring and underperforming in several games. This has led to speculation about the team's attacking strategy and the use of its most effective players. Former Premier League striker Alan Shearer agreed with Lineker’s concerns, suggesting that Sesko should have been introduced earlier in the derby, possibly at the start of the second half. Shearer noted that while United's attacking options are "decent," they may not be strong enough to compete with the top teams in the league. He emphasized the need for more impactful players in key moments. Former United defender Gary Neville also questioned Carrick’s decision to keep Sesko on the bench for much of the derby. Neville suggested that the manager might reconsider his approach, arguing that Sesko's physical presence and scoring ability could have made a difference in the match. With United currently sitting 13th in the Premier League, the team is looking to bounce back in their upcoming match against Fulham. The Red Devils will aim to recover from recent setbacks as they face their rivals at Craven Cottage.
