Benjamin Sesko has dropped a powerful verdict on what Michael Carrick has told all Manchester United players after the interim head coach’s return to Old Trafford.
The 22-year-old Slovenian striker climbed off the bench in the second half and replaced Matheus Cunha in the 74th minute of Sunday’s Premier League clash.
Manchester United were confidently leading Fulham 2-0 at Old Trafford before the Red Devils blew their advantage in the early stages of the second half of injury time.
However, Bruno Fernandes was able to pick out Benjamin Sesko late in injury time and the Slovenian international produced a stunning finish to score the winner.
An unmarked Sesko was able to compose himself with his first touch before the United ace turned and fired his strike into the top-right corner of Bernd Leno’s net.

Benjamin Sesko has been on the bench for Michael Carrick’s first three matches in charge of Manchester United as interim head coach until the end of the 2025-26 season.
Michael Carrick has preferred to use Bryan Mbeumo as the lone forward in his tactical set-up, with captain Bruno Fernandes playing behind the summer signing.
Speaking after Man Utd’s 3-2 result over Fulham at Old Trafford, Sesko was left in awe after he snatched the winner in front of the United fans at the Stretford End.
“It was unbelievable,” he said, as per the Premier League’s official website.
“Scoring at home, the winner, is unbelievable. I’ve been dreaming about it, that I can do that, it’s unbelievable.”
Sesko added: “Not just for me, for the whole team. It’s really important, especially because we’re in a really good run now and I’m just hoping and wishing we can work hard like that and win games.
“It’s unbelievable. I’m really happy that I can help the team like that and continue our streak now.”

Carrick spoke up about the significance of the Red Devils players playing with “emotion” last month and Sesko feels Man Utd’s result over Fulham was the perfect example.
When asked about Carrick’s comments, Sesko said: “No, it’s true, it’s true.
“He’s saying this many, many times, and that’s exactly what we’re doing. But it’s not just that also, you can see how hard we work together.”
United are fourth in the Premier League table again after their latest result and the Red Devils will now be back in action against Fulham at Old Trafford next Saturday.
