Sesko seizes his chance as Man Utd cruise past Sabah

Sent clear by Mbeumo, Sesko stayed on his feet, took the contact and finished like a born number nine.

What happened. Manchester United eased past Azerbaijani side Sabah on their return to the Champions League. Benjamin Sesko scored a well-taken goal just before half-time after being sent clear by Bryan Mbeumo's pass.

• Sesko stayed upright under a rash challenge from goalkeeper Stas Pokatilov before finishing.
• The Slovenian has yet to start a Premier League match this season.
• The writer argues he will become United's regular attacking spearhead.

Sesko's sharp display could push him towards a regular starting role in United's attack.
