Sesko responds to calls he should no longer be Michael Carrick's super sub

Benjamin Sesko is not bothered at being labelled a super sub, insisting he's more than happy to keep helping Michael Carrick and Manchester United from the bench.

The Slovenian was sent on just before the hour at Everton and he scored the decisive goal to secure a 1-0 away win with his sixth goal in seven games. He also scored the winner in a 3-2 victory over Fulham and a late equaliser to salvage a point at West Ham.

There are growing calls for Sesko to start now. He has not done so since Carrick succeeded Ruben Amorim. But the 22-year-old is not as worried about it as those on the outside.

'I'm getting settled in the league from game to game,' he said. 'Again, I'm not even thinking about "I have to start, I have to start".

'For me it's just whenever coach decides to put me there one time or not I'm just going to be there.

'If I get the next minutes, five minutes, I'm going to use them and for me it's just about trying to enjoy and delivering for the team.'

Sesko is calm in his demeanour and while the noise is getting louder that Carrick must re-shape the side to start with the Slovenian, Sesko's attitude is that good things come to those who wait.

'We are talking of course but [Michael Carrick] believes in me, everyone believes in me, they are getting me ready to start as soon as possible,' Sesko explained.

'It's more about me showing up when it's important. No matter how many minutes I'm getting I'm focusing on delivering and trying to help the team secure the wins.'

Goals were particularly hard to come by for United last season with the entire team managing just 44 in the Premier League, a total already surpassed this season (48).

That improvement has followed a major recruitment drive to rebuild their attack in the summer, with Sesko's £73.7million arrival the most expensive and Bryan Mbeumo (£65m) and Matheus Cunha (£62.5m) also joining.

But the articulate Sesko does not believe any of the trio have felt any extra pressure because of their price tags.

'For me the way I look at the pressure it's something that if I want to be a good player it's something that I have to have,' Sesko added.

'I take it as a privilege. It's something that has [to be there] if you want to play at the highest level and it's about accepting it and not really caring about it.

'For me it didn't really affect me and I don't think for Cunha and Bryan as well.'
