Slovenia striker Benjamin Sesko has recently spoken about his experiences playing under Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick.
Since Carrick took over as interim head coach, Sesko has yet to start a Premier League game. The 22-year-old forward remained on the bench during the 2-0 win over Manchester City, which was Carrick’s first game in charge.

Sesko did make appearances in the following four league matches and managed to leave his mark each time. He came off the bench earlier this month to score an injury-time winner against Fulham at Old Trafford.
He made another important contribution recently, scoring a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with West Ham.

Since taking over as interim manager, Carrick has made several notable additions to the Manchester United coaching staff, including former England assistant Steve Holland.
According to Sesko, Carrick and his team are focused on giving players detailed feedback, helping them understand their roles more clearly.

“They’re giving all the details that you need to improve, to get better, to know what to do in the game because it’s important,” he said. “And they’re always good with communications [sic], as he and the other staff.”
“So I’m really happy that he came here and also happy with what we have achieved around it.”
The Slovenian striker has scored seven goals and added one assist in 23 appearances for Manchester United across all competitions in his first season at Old Trafford.
