Lineker Praises Promising Man Utd Star Despite Criticism
Gary Lineker praised Manchester United forward Benjamin Sesko, contrasting the critical view of Gary Neville. Despite Manchester United earning just one point against relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest, Lineker highlighted the potential in the team's attack.
Match Summary
Ruben Amorim kept the same starting lineup for Nottingham Forest, hoping to build on their recent 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion. Casemiro gave United an early lead in the 34th minute from a controversial corner. Forest players argued the corner should not have been awarded, claiming the ball had not fully gone out of play.
Morgan Gibbs-White equalized 14 minutes later, and Nicolò Savona put Forest ahead just after halftime. Amad then brought United back into the game with a stunning volley in the 81st minute. The match ended 2-2, with both teams sharing the points.
Lineker’s Positive View
Although none of Manchester United’s summer attacking signings scored in the match, Lineker singled out the trio for praise during the latest episode of The Rest Is Football podcast, highlighting their promise and potential for growth.
"Gary Lineker was full of praise for the side’s frontline once again."
Lineker’s optimism stands in contrast with Neville’s more critical assessment but points to belief in the talent yet to be fully realized at Manchester United.
