Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko has delivered an optimistic verdict on the club's future, insisting 'great things are coming' despite the ongoing search for a new permanent manager.
Sesko's Confidence in United's Spirit
The Slovenian international, who breathed new life into his Old Trafford career with a crucial brace in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Burnley, pointed to the resilience within the squad as a key reason for hope. Following the sacking of Ruben Amorim earlier in the week, former midfielder Darren Fletcher took temporary charge, securing a point in his opening game at Turf Moor.
Asked if the team possessed the necessary resilience, Sesko was emphatic. "Definitely," he 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."
Personal Relief and Team Demands
The £74 million signing from RB Leipzig had endured a difficult adaptation period, scoring just twice in the Premier League prior to the trip to Burnley. His double provided a much-needed personal boost and a sign of his potential.
"It feels great because we created great chances, especially with those two goals," Sesko reflected on his performance. "Great movements, great ball. With this kind of situation, we are showing what team we are, what we are capable of and, yeah, it's great for the future, obviously."
However, the striker immediately shifted focus to the need for results, expressing disappointment at not securing all three points against the Clarets. "It feels obviously disappointing... We're creating good chances. Unfortunately, we received two goals. 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," he demanded of his teammates.
Managerial Uncertainty and Forward Focus
United's hierarchy continues its search for Amorim's long-term successor. While Darren Fletcher remains an interim option, former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also reportedly in talks over a sensational return to the club he managed for three years.
Regardless of who ultimately takes the helm, Sesko's message is one of unity and forward momentum. The immediate challenge is an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Brighton at Old Trafford this weekend, followed by the seismic Premier League clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Sesko's renewed confidence and scoring form could prove vital as United, currently languishing in seventh place, aim to salvage their season and build a platform for the future under new leadership.
