Having joined Man United in the summer transfer window with a fee of up to £74 million from RB Leipzig, Sesko is expected to become the new spearhead in the attack of the Old Trafford team. However, after the first 11 matches, the 22-year-old striker has only scored 2 goals, disappointing experts and fans.
Last week, former defender Gary Neville frankly commented that Sesko looked quite strange in action, a comment that attracted attention in the British media. However, coach Amorim believes that is a common reaction in top-flight football, where all eyes are on the player's every step.
The Man United coach said: "I understand Ben's feelings. He is young, just coming to a pressure team like United, where every mistake is exaggerated. But that's normal. The important thing is that he continues to work hard and learn to control his emotions.
The Portuguese coach also stressed that Sesko has potential beyond expectations. In fact, the Slovenia striker has also done quite well for Leipzig, with a record of 39 goals in 87 matches.
Amorim continued to praise his new student: When I started working with Ben at Man United, I realized that he had more strengths than I had ever thought. We just need to help him adapt and develop his playing style properly.
Under the current pressure, Amorim reaffirmed that he always defends Sesko: All the criticism today could become a compliment after a few weeks. The important thing is to keep the faith. Ben will succeed he is our future.
