Super Sub Sesko ready to deliver for Manchester United whenever Carrick calls

Benjamin Sesko insists he is unfazed by his role under Michael Carrick and is ready to make an impact for Manchester United whenever called upon.

Despite not starting a game under the new coach, Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko does not seem to mind, explaining that he is ready to contribute whenever manager Michael Carrick calls upon him.

Despite not starting a game since Carrick's arrival, the 22-year-old striker has emerged as a decisive figure off the bench. United's 1-0 Premier League win over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday was the latest example of his growing influence.

"For me, it's important whenever I come on to try and help the team. That is why I'm here. Whether that is five minutes or 90 minutes, it doesn't really matter. It's about showing I can deliver if I possibly can and I'm really happy with that," Sesko told Sky Sports.

Carrick's side have now won five and drawn one of their six games since he took charge, climbing to fourth in the table, three points behind Aston Villa. While the caretaker head coach has largely been spot-on with his selections, there was surprise when the in-form Sesko was left on the bench against Everton.

With the home side deploying tall defenders, Bryan Mbeumo struggled to make an impact early on. Carrick's early second-half change, however, altered the course of the contest.

Sesko sealed an uninspiring clash in the 71st minute, sweeping in a clinical first-time finish from Mbeumo's pass after a flowing counter-attack sparked by Matheus Cunha's sublime delivery. It was a rare moment of quality in a scrappy encounter.
