Benjamin Sesco breathed new life into his Manchester United career with a brace in the Red Devils’ 2-2 win over Burnley, with the striker expressing optimism about the team’s future.
Benjamin Sesco believes “great things can happen” at Manchester United as the Red Devils intensify their search for a new manager. Ruben Amorim was sacked by the club’s leadership earlier this week, with former midfielder Darren Fletcher taking his place on an interim basis.
United secured a point from the opening game as they drew 2-2 with Burnley. Club leaders are still searching for Amorim’s replacement, with Fletcher a potential interim option and former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also in talks to return.
But whoever takes charge, Sesco sees the spirit in the changing room and supports United’s quick recovery. When asked if the team is resilient, the Slovenian said: “Definitely yes.
“In general, I think we are a really great group. We do everything to try to prove ourselves every time.

“We just have to keep going and keep pushing. We think we’re great and we believe great things will happen.”
Like United, Sesco has had problems this season following his £74m move from RB Leipzig. He had only scored two goals in the Premier League ahead of the trip to Turf Moor, but is relieved to have regained his form.
Sesco added of the two goals: “It’s a great feeling, especially with those two goals because we created some great chances. Great movement, great ball.”
“In a situation like this, we are showing what kind of team we are and what we can do. Of course, that is great for the future.”

And while Sesco predicts big things for United, he has called on his team-mates to aim for wins as United look to move up from seventh in the Premier League table.
“Obviously it’s a disappointing feeling. I think we were fighting, I think we gave it our all and created a lot of chances. Basically, the ball went into the net twice, kind of over the line, and they just took it away.”
“We are creating good chances. Unfortunately we conceded two goals. It’s still a draw and that’s important, but now we just have to focus on the details and try to win the next game.”
Sesco and United return to action in the FA Cup this weekend when they host Brighton at Old Trafford, with their next Premier League clash a week later in the Manchester derby against City.
