Usually when you're leaving a player on the bench that feels slightly harsh to bench, you make up for it by subbing him on early 2nd half.

Another game we waited 71 minutes to get him on. What is Carrick's issue with him?

Carrick clearly had a bet before the season that Mbeumo would be top scorer
 
It's fecking daft at this point. He's got a bigger in our starting XI than any of the the other players anyway, surely he's worth just investing the minutes into? Let alone the fact he makes things happens when he's on the pitch
 
Can see him fecking off if Carrick stays. Barca will need striker and Kane is not getting younger. It is clearly that MC does not rate him.
 
I don’t get get the fluidity argument, I think we’re much more fluid with Sesko’s hold up play and his link up is really good.
 
Sesko has been in phenomenal form ever since Amorim was sacked. I remember the game against Burnley under Fletcher where we looked like a menace in front bagging two goals, scored against Brighton as well in the FA cup loss. His reward was being glued to the bench playing 9 minutes in the next two games under Carrick.

Ever since then every time he is introduced he looks like a handful to the oppo defenses and having the best goals per minute ratio in the league as well. Both Amad and Mbuemo have been in horrendous form during this period. The former even has to play OOP where he is clearly struggling, but there is still no place for Sesko in the starting eleven.

It is bad management from Carrick in my opinion. Seems like he just don't like him for some reason, similar to Amorim and Mainoo.
 
This might be the reason he hasn’t started games.

The centre-forward will miss Slovenia’s friendlies against Hungary and Montenegro, in order to ensure that he fully recovers from an issue that United have been carefully managing throughout recent weeks.

Or maybe he’s been nursing an injury and his minutes have been managed. Swear this place is so dramatic.

The worst thing is we've started to cross the ball a lot more? To who like? It makes no sense. It seems like every manager has their blind spots that everyone else can see is holding their team back
 
It can't be a serious issue as he is in the NT camp and training as usual.

From the Slovenian FA:

David Brekalo and Benjamin Šeško will not be available for this national team campaign and the friendly matches against Hungary and Montenegro.

The medical service of the Slovenian national football team has assessed the health of football players David Brekalo and Benjamin Šeško. The assessment showed that David Brekalo has a calf muscle injury, which currently prevents him from training and playing football to the fullest extent. In Benjamin Šeško, doctors have diagnosed a minor injury, which also prevents him from training and playing at full capacity.

In both cases, rehabilitation will be required, the duration of which exceeds the time of this national team activities. Brekalo and Šeško will continue their treatment and recovery in their home clubs. The national team wishes both football players successful treatment and a speedy recovery.
 
Man Utd 1:2 Leeds United New
The least intimidating 6 foot 5 man I have ever seen in my life. That was an absolutely shocking 'performance'.
 
I guess we've now seen why Carrick doesn't like starting him.

Had a good one v one chance too and unfortunately didnt do much. Cant remember if that was at 0-0 or not.
 
Offers nothing when he starts , really want him to do well but he is so meek for such a big man.
 
Unfortunately for him we are a better team with him as the sub option, but a bit of luck and he scores a couple tonight.

I really hope he grows into the league though, he sort of threatens to do something and then confidence or whatever seems to hold him back.
 
He scores hard goals but can't score easy goals.

There was a chance in the first half where the ball just gets stuck to his feet and rolled in to the goalkeeper.

Very weird footballer, makes hard look easy but easy look hard.
 
I think we need an experienced striker that he can learn from.

Look at big strikers like Mateta, Jimenez, DCL they know how to use their bodies to bully defenders.. Sesko for his size loses so many duals
 
Imagine having a huge striker and not one winger or fullback can cross the ball.

Then how come Casemiro gets on several each game. Sesko is better of the bench. His hold up play isn’t good enough to be a starter for us yet.
 
There really is a dearth of talented forward players out there. Mbappe, Haaland, Alvarez.. aaaand that's it.
 
Still way too passive on and off the ball. Like a rabbit in the headlights when he has time. More effective when he can act instinctively.

Reckon he’s yet to adjust to being the CF at one of the elite clubs and needs time to develop his game and self belief.
 
Like playing with 10, 9 men. He doesn’t press well; his link up is arbitrary at best. He can’t do anything on his own. But I die agree on starting him. Young striker - he will have off games.
 
Was very unlucky in the 2nd half when he beat Bijol and Darlow was able to save and defenders cleared it off the line. Something out of nothing.

He might have been able to do a little better with the header from Mbeumo's cross, too close to the keeper.
 
Didn't play well, but it's generally a good sign when you see your CF getting chances even when not playing well.
