Foster had no idea that Man Utd star had ‘unreal’ skill in his locker, it’s why he forced his predecessor out the club

Ben Foster, like everyone else watching, was in absolute awe of Benjamin Sesko’s jaw-dropping finish against West Ham on Tuesday night.

The Slovenian’s contribution in the dying embers of the clash secured Manchester United a crucial point to keep them fourth-placed in the table, as well as staying unbeaten under Michael Carrick, having now won four and drawn once since he took the reins last month.

How Benjamin Sesko is faring in his debut United campaign

Sesko, who was brought in to succeed Rasmus Hojlund, is being made to navigate a lesser role than he’d like as things stand, but he is doing what you’d want any player to do: getting his head down and performing well in the chances he is granted.

Amad Diallo, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha are Carrick’s preferred front three, with Bruno Fernandes operating in his favoured role behind the attackers.

Alas, it’s leaving little to no room for Sesko to nail down a spot; he has yet to start under the new boss thus far.

His position hasn’t been aided by the fact that United have no cup competitions to account for from now until May – and the youngster certainly did his bit to avoid such a situation, as he was the side’s only goalscorer in the 2-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion on January 11.

The Reds don’t play again until Monday, February 23, when they’ll oversee their maiden outing at the Hill Dickinson Stadium against Everton. Sesko will be hoping he’s done enough to make Carrick’s XI, given he has now found the back of the net four times in his last five Premier League appearances.

Foster weighed in on the 22-year-old’s strike and attempted to dissect just how he’d managed to pull it off.

“What a finish by Sesko,” began the former goalkeeper on the ‘Fozcast’ yesterday. “Unreal. I’ve never thought he had that in the locker, because it’s the only place it can go.

“It’s the toppest of top corners, right? There’s an angle from behind where it goes, and I mean, like the toppest of top corners, and I still had to watch it back a couple of times to go, how has he struck that by the way?

“Did he bounce first? But he didn’t, he loosens his foot.”

He continued: “So, it’s an unreal skill, yeah? He’s had to loosen his ankle, right? And literally just whop it at it like that.

“He’s not trying to do it hard; he’s trying to take pace off the ball, he’s just trying to guide it.

“But from that angle he’s running at, the angle that the ball’s come at, he’s got to loosen his ankle so much and just softly hit it, and oh my God, it was beautiful.”
