Man Utd legend Paul Scholes urges Michael Carrick to drop £62.5m star to accommodate Benjamin Sesko vs Man City

PAUL SCHOLES believes Michael Carrick must shuffle his pack so he can start Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian came off the bench to score what looked like it would be the winner against Everton on Sunday.

But, 23-year-old Sesko has form from the bench. Sign up for the Man United newsletter Thank you! He scored four times coming on as a substitute last season and Carrick has shown a preference to utilise him that way. However, club legend Scholes believes United’s play against Everton shows they need a real focal point up top. Scholes said on his podcast The Good, The Bad and The Football: “I felt it was really timid against Everton. “There was no aggression and Everton were there for the taking. “There was so much space and they never went for the throat. The centre forward position is a bit of an issue because he is not playing Sesko.” Scholes, who won 11 Premier League titles, believes someone like Matheus Cunha and his maverick creativity may have to make way for the structure that Sesko would give United.“He [Sesko] is a focal point. It is very difficult to watch a Manchester United team without a centre forward.

Carrick’s troops have a win, a loss and a draw from their three games, but the former midfielder-turned boss at Old Trafford did mastermind a victory over City last season. Comment now
