Ex-Sporting striker hails Amorim’s protégé: Next 2-3 years key | OneFootball

A player who has had a stint at Sporting, recently commented on the signing of a compatriot by Amorim's club.

Andraz Sporar approves of Ruben Amorim's Manchester United signing Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian forward, who has had a stint at Sporting, recently spoke to The Sun newspaper, where he discussed his compatriot's move from the Bundesliga to the Premier League.

Andraz Sporar and Benjamin Sesko, in addition to being compatriots, have often been teammates in the Slovenian national team, which both represent. The former Sporting player, who is now 31 years old, began by praising the abilities of the young man 10 years his junior.

"What does he bring to United? Everything. He has speed, strength, intelligence and an excellent football IQ. I believe he can become a complete forward in the next two or three years", began the player who, in Portugal, also played for Braga.

Andraz Sporar continued, advising some patience to the red devils fans, largely due to Sesko's age: "But he's still young. He will greatly help Manchester United, they just need to be patient. I'm sure he will score goals and that, year after year, he will get better and better".

Remember that Ruben Amorim and Sporar did cross paths at Sporting, although the duo didn't bear much fruit. The Slovenian was signed in January 2020, with the coach arriving three months later at the Club. Apart from the end of that 2019/20 season, the two did not cross paths again, as the forward had successive loans from the lions, until he was sold permanently, in 2022, to Panathinaikos. Today, he is coached by another former Sporting Portuguese.
