With Mbeumo at AFCON, a new hero must rise

Benjamin Sesko has just two goals in 13 Manchester United games, but with Bryan Mbeumo away at the Africa Cup of Nations, Ruben Amorim needs him to step up. The £74m striker now faces his chance to shine — or prove Old Trafford’s goalposts are allergic to him.

Amorim hinted at a tactical tweak, possibly a 4-3-3 to create more chances. After a short injury break, Sesko returns ready to reset and find his scoring touch during the festive fixtures.
