Man United Get Job Done in UCL Return, Turn Page to Weekend Clash with Man City

Benjamin Sesko’s return from a shin injury has brought two goals in two matches, giving Manchester United a lift before Sunday’s derby.

  • On Thursday, Benjamin Sesko scored during Manchester United's 4-0 Champions League win against Sabah, boosting his confidence ahead of Sunday's Premier League derby against Manchester City.
  • Manager Michael Carrick praised the 23-year-old forward's physical threat after his return from a shin injury last month, noting Sesko "definitely offers a different kind of threat" to other squad members.
  • After striking in last weekend's 2-2 draw at Everton, Sesko played 63 minutes against Sabah on Thursday, collecting Bryan Mbeumo's pass to score his second goal in five days.
  • Competition for a starting spot intensifies for Sunday's match, as Sesko competes with Marcus Rashford, Matheus Cunha, and Mbeumo, which Carrick described as "not an easy decision."
  • United's 4-0 victory against the Azerbaijani club, founded nine years ago, provided a strong Champions League start, though tougher tests await before Sunday's derby against Manchester City.
