Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko travelled to Dubai for a private training camp days before Everton’s game | OneFootball

Benjamin Sesko was the hero for Manchester United against Everton on Monday night, bagging the winner in the narrow 1-0 victory to keep their chances of finishing in the top four alive.

The Man United ace reportedly travelled 3,500 miles to Dubai for a private training camp just one week before the game.

United are only playing Premier League games from now until the end of the season, following their early elimination from the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

They had a 12-day break between their games against West Ham United and Everton, and manager Michael Carrick allowed his players some time off.

Sesko made the most of it, linking up with SPS Performance in the United Arab Emirates to keep his fitness levels up.

It paid off as his burst of pace left Everton defenders in his wake as the Red Devils launched a counter-attack to score the only goal of the game.

The Man United striker has scored three goals in his last four appearances for the club, taking his tally to seven league goals in 11 starts.

He started life at the Theatre of Dreams on an underwhelming note, with only two goals in his first 17 appearances for Man United.

However, Sesko has improved significantly, bagging six goals in his last seven appearances.

Man United staff stressed how much of an upgrade Sesko was on Rasmus Hojlund back in October, with his awareness, ball-winning and distribution drawing praise from the coaches.

The 22-year-old is starting to prove his worth and could turn out to be a hit and a long-term goalscoring asset to Man United if he can maintain his current form.
