Arsenal supporters have had plenty to say about Benjamin Sesko following Manchester United’s humiliating Carabao Cup second round exit against Grimsby.

Sesko, heavily linked with a move to Arsenal before completing a £73.7million transfer to Man Utd, made his full debut for the Red Devils on Wednesday night.

Leading the line flanked by Amad Diallo and fellow summer signing Matheus Cunha, the 22-year-old played the full 90 minutes at Blundell Park but failed to score in normal time as Man United fought back from 2-0 down to force the tie into penalties.

Although he scored, the fact Sesko was the 10th penalty taker for United left Arsenal fans thanking new sporting director Andrea Berta for choosing Viktor Gyokeres over him this summer.

Speaking after the game, Amorim issued a cryptic response to the defeat: "It was really clear to everybody what happened today," he said.

"With all due respect, when you lose to a fourth-division side, it's not the goalkeeper, it's everything. It's the environment. It's going to be massive, every detail. My players spoke for me, really loud.”

Man Utd return to action on Saturday as they welcome Premier League newboys Burnley to Old Trafford in hope of picking up their first win of the season.
