Steve Bruce Names United Selection 'Conundrum' that Gives Michael Carrick a Sore Head

Gary Neville says Benjamin Sesko has scored six goals in seven appearances and must start to maintain confidence amid recent team struggles.

  • Gary Neville told Sky Sports that `I think it would kill the lad if he didn't start` against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. Neville urged Carrick to select Sesko for Sunday’s match.
  • Sesko has been pressing for a start after recent match-winning contributions, scoring the winner in a 3-2 win against Fulham and the equaliser in a 1-1 draw at West Ham earlier this month, plus a 71st-minute winner at Everton on Monday.
  • The 74million forward has eight goals in 24 matches and rising form, with five Premier League 2026 statistics goals including three from 84 minutes of game time.
  • Michael Carrick named Sesko on the bench for Monday's trip to Everton, preferring Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo, while praising Sesko's attitude in six games in charge.
  • Neville urged Carrick to start Sesko against Palace, citing recent impact and his potential as a regular if he links play and scores, despite being seen as a `super-sub`.
