Carrick pleased with Sesko's 'ruthless finish'

Manchester United interim boss Michael Carrick praised the impact of super-sub Benjamin Sesko after the Slovenian striker's cool finish earned a 1-0 English Premier League win at Everton on Feb 23.

Sesko is yet to start in Carrick's six matches in charge, but he has come off the bench to net in three of his last four appearances with vital goals.

The 22-year-old also scored a late winner against Fulham and rescued a point against West Ham United deep into stoppage time in United's previous outing.

He started the move that led to the winning goal as all of United’s £200 million (S$342 million) trio of attacking signings last summer combined to great effect.

Matheus Cunha picked out the run of Bryan Mbeumo, who squared for Sesko to slot home his sixth goal in seven appearances since Ruben Amorim was sacked in January.
