Gary Neville’s Benjamin Sesko Debate…
Gary Neville found himself struck silent by Ian Wright’s latest observation about Manchester United’s new signing, Benjamin Sesko. Sesko, who cost Man United more than a spaceship to Mars—£66.4million to be exact—has yet to truly make his mark. Despite serious hopes pinned on him, United’s meager 44 goals last season have left question marks floating in the sky like cartoon thought bubbles. As Neville set a 35-goal target for Sesko, along with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, Wright challenged him with more zest than a lemon in a summer drink.
Wright reminded Neville of his outspoken skepticism toward Viktor Gyokeres scoring just 10 goals and questioned the ceiling he’d set for Sesko. In a podcast showdown more intense than a cat versus laser pointer battle, Neville found himself speechless, struggling to defend his stance like a mime on a talk show. However, he tried to rationalize his expectations by arguing that Arsenal, featuring Gyokeres, would produce more scoring chances than Manchester United grilling sausages, leaving Carragher, Scott, and Keane bewildered by the analogy.
