Manchester United forward Benjamin Sesko has delivered an optimistic verdict on the club's future, insisting "great things are coming" following his timely return to form against Burnley.
Sesko's Double Boosts United Amid Managerial Search
The Slovenian striker breathed new life into his Old Trafford career by scoring twice in United's 2-2 Premier League draw at Turf Moor on 8th January 2026. His brace came during a period of significant upheaval for the club, following the recent sacking of manager Ruben Amorim.
Former midfielder Darren Fletcher has been placed in temporary charge, securing a point in his opening match. Club chiefs are actively seeking a permanent successor, with Fletcher a potential interim option and former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also in talks over a sensational return.
'A Really Great Group' - Sesko Backs United's Spirit
Despite the uncertainty off the pitch, Sesko is backing the squad's resilience to guide them through. When asked if the team possessed the necessary fight, the £74m signing from RB Leipzig was unequivocal.
"Definitely," Sesko stated. "I think in general we're a really great group. We're doing everything to try prove ourselves every single time. We just have to keep going, keep pushing, because I think we're great and, yeah, I believe that great things are coming."
The striker's words will be a welcome boost for fans, as his own season had previously struggled for momentum. Before the trip to Burnley, he had managed just two Premier League goals since his big-money move.
Focus Turns to Winning Games
While pleased with his personal contribution and the team's spirit, Sesko issued a clear demand for improvement in results. United currently sit seventh in the table, and the striker emphasised the need to turn positive performances into victories.
"It feels obviously disappointing," he said of the draw. "We were creating a lot of chances... We still get a draw, which is important, but now it's just up to us to try to focus on the details and try to win the next game."
Reflecting on his own performance, he added: "It feels great because we created great chances, especially with those two goals. Great movements, great ball. With this kind of situation, we are showing what team we are, what we are capable of."
Attention now turns to a crucial FA Cup clash at home to Brighton this weekend, followed by the high-stakes Manchester Derby against City in the Premier League a week later. The coming fixtures will be a major test of the resolve Sesko so passionately believes in.
