Old Trafford was alive with excitement as Benjamin Šeško once again stole the spotlight. The 21-year-old Manchester United forward delivered a breathtaking display in the club’s 2-0 win over Sunderland, leaving fans, pundits, and even his opponents in awe. His commanding presence and clinical performance were so impressive that one Sunderland player couldn’t help but sing his praises after the match — and his comments have since taken over social media.
“He’s played with us at Sunderland before, but what I saw today was on another level. That guy Šeško was a nightmare to face — he destroyed us from start to finish. Forget all the Amad talk — Šeško is the real deal! The way he moves, the way he controls the game — that’s a football genius right there,” the Sunderland star said.
His words summed up exactly what fans inside Old Trafford witnessed — a young striker growing into a complete, world-class forward before their eyes. From his crisp movement to his precise finishing and intelligent positioning, Šeško dictated the tempo every time he touched the ball, earning a roaring ovation from the crowd when he was subbed off.
The chemistry between Šeško and Mason Mount continues to shine, with both players linking up beautifully to tear Sunderland’s defence apart. Analysts have compared Šeško’s flair and sharp instincts to the likes of Robin van Persie and Ruud van Nistelrooy, praising not only his goalscoring ability but his knack for creating space and opportunities for others.
Yet, despite his form, frustration is mounting among United supporters towards manager Ruben Amorim. Many feel the coach has failed to consistently showcase Šeško’s talent, frequently rotating him or using him out of position in earlier matches. After his latest masterclass, fans are demanding that Amorim build the team around the young striker.
“Everyone is talking about him,” one supporter posted online. “It’s crazy that Amorim still doesn’t know how to use him properly!”
Šeško’s performance wasn’t just another good showing — it was a statement of intent. Week after week, he’s proving he’s not just the future of Manchester United, but their driving force right now. If Amorim hopes to win back the full support of the fans, it’s clear — Šeško must be the centerpiece of his project.
