Manchester United<\/a> legend Dwight Yorke has urged Michael Carrick to start Benjamin Sesko consistently.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Red Devils decided to reinforce the No.9 position by purchasing the Slovenian from RB Leipzig for a big fee last year. He featured as a rotational option last term, scoring 12 goals and registering a solitary assist.<\/p>\n After recovering from his shin injury, he played as a backup option once again before the international break, netting twice in all tournaments this season.<\/p>\n However, Sesko has sustained a fresh shin problem and is set to remain sidelined for an extended period. Now, speaking on talkSPORT<\/em>, Yorke says (via Metro<\/span><\/a>) that although Sesko is currently injured, Carrick should trust the 23-year-old and start him consistently.<\/p>\n The former forward gave the reason behind his claim as that Sesko possesses the necessary attributes to become a top-class striker, and Carrick should urge his players to feed the former Leipzig star.<\/p>\n Yorke said:<\/p>\n \u201cFor me the big question mark there with Carrick, I don\u2019t understand why Sesko doesn\u2019t play. I know he\u2019s injured now but you\u2019ve got to play the guy as a nine. You have to trust the kid, he\u2019s got all the attributes. Yes, he\u2019s come off the bench and scored but you have to push him up top and let the others feed off him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Sesko is a 6ft 5in tall striker. He is quick, strong, good in the air, can hold up the play, and is technically sound. Moreover, he can take penalties and works hard without possession.<\/p>\n Apart from Sesko, valued at around \u00a363m by Transfermarkt<\/span><\/a>, Carrick currently has Joshua Zirkzee as a specialist striker option. However, the Dutchman has struggled to find his feet in the Premier League<\/a> since joining from Bologna a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n But he displayed an excellent performance against Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur on Saturday after being introduced as a second-half substitute.<\/p>\n\n
