Gary Lineker contradicts Gary Neville by praising Manchester United’s young forward Benjamin Sesko. Despite United earning just one point against relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest, Lineker remained positive about the team’s attack.
Ruben Amorim kept the same starting lineup at the City Ground that had secured a 4-2 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion the previous week. Manchester United aimed for their fourth consecutive win after Casemiro scored in the 34th minute from a controversial corner, which Forest contested, claiming the ball had not fully crossed the line.
Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White equalized 14 minutes later, and Nicolò Savona put the home side ahead early in the second half. United responded in the 81st minute with an impressive volley from Amad to level the score. The match ended in a 2-2 draw as both sides shared the points.
Although none of Manchester United’s summer attacking signings scored in the game, Lineker singled out the trio for commendation during the latest episode of The Rest Is Football podcast.
“He thinks ‘promising’ Man Utd star has more in his locker,”
This reflects Lineker’s optimism about the potential of the team's forwards, especially emphasizing Benjamin Sesko’s abilities.
