Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has received suggestions to seek assistance from Wayne Rooney in improving the performance of newcomer Benjamin Sesko. Sesko, a £74 million striker, is yet to score in his limited appearances for the club, and his recent penalty-taking order in the Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town raised eyebrows.
Despite it being early in Sesko’s tenure at United and speculation about cramp affecting the penalty decision, concerns persist at Old Trafford. Amorim’s future came under scrutiny following the cup loss, compounded by United’s lackluster form having failed to secure a victory this season.
Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney has recommended Amorim to involve club legend Rooney in mentoring Sesko. Deeney highlighted the potential benefits of Rooney’s experience, especially given Rooney’s son Kai’s affiliation with United’s academy.
Deeney emphasized the importance of seeking guidance from experienced players, drawing parallels to his own development under Teddy Sheringham’s guidance during his time at Watford. This mentoring approach proved successful for Watford, resulting in improved performances and goal-scoring records.
As United prepare to face Burnley amid mounting pressure on Amorim, the coach expressed his disappointment with recent performances but remains focused on the upcoming challenges. The team’s struggle to find the net in their early matches underscores the urgency for improvements in their attacking play.
In a bid to revitalize their form, United’s supporters can now benefit from discounted rates on Sky’s Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for the upcoming seasons.
