Sesko says Man Utd showed 'what we are capable of' in more attacking display against Burnley

Benjamin Sesko says that Manchester United showed "what we are capable of" in a more attacking display against Burnley following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim.

It was more of an all-out attack by United with Darren Fletcher in temporary control in the 2-2 draw at Turf Moor.

Despite so many dropped points this season, United remain seventh in the standings and within touching distance of the Champions League places.

And Sesko, who scored a sublime brace at Turf Moor, is confident they can end a bumpy season strongly.

Put to the summer signing that United looked like a group with resilience and togetherness, he said: “Definitely. I think in general we’re a really great group.

“We’re doing everything to try prove ourselves every single time. We just have to keep going, keep pushing, because I think we’re great and, yeah, I believe that great things are coming.”

Fletcher will again be in caretaker charge for Sunday’s FA Cup tie against Brighton as talks continue with leading candidates Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick about taking the role for the remainer of the season.

Whoever ends up taking charge will be delighted if they have a confident frontman in Sesko to call upon.

The 22-year-old has struggled to make an impact since his big-money move from RB Leipzig but showed his prowess with a pair of fine finishes at Turf Moor.

“It feels great because we created great chances, especially with those two goals,” Sesko said after doubling his United tally. “Great movements, great ball. With this kind of situation, we are showing what team we are, what we are capable of and, yeah, it’s great for the future, obviously.”

But while pleased with his impact and confident in the team’s quality, Sesko is aware as anyone that United need to start racking up wins.

“It feels obviously disappointing because I think we were fighting, we were giving our best, we were creating a lot of chances,” he told MUTV.

“Basically, the ball was two times in the net, like over the line, but the opponent just took it out. We’re creating good chances. Unfortunately, we received two goals.

“We still get a draw, which is important, but now it’s just up to us to try to focus on the details and try to win the next game.”
