Benjamin Sesko has been told he must bring more arrogance to his game at Manchester United if he wants to win over doubters at Old Trafford.
The striker has been urged to channel the same “aura” Zlatan Ibrahimovic carried during his time in England, with the argument that elite forwards often need that edge to silence critics and impose themselves in big moments.
Sesko’s qualities have not been questioned, but the message is clear: confidence alone is not enough at United. He has been advised to show a stronger personality on the pitch, play with swagger, and make it obvious he expects to score every time he steps into the box.
It is the kind of attitude Ibrahimovic made his trademark in a United shirt, using his presence as well as his goals to lead the line and control the mood around the club. Sesko, the suggestion goes, should aim for the same effect if he is to thrive under the spotlight that comes with being United’s No.9.
With scrutiny never far away at Old Trafford, the call is for Sesko to back himself more loudly, take responsibility in key phases of games and show the ruthless streak fans demand from a centre-forward.
