Rio Ferdinand discusses Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United
With the arrival of Sesko likely to be confirmed over the next few days at this rate, now Rio Ferdinand has discussed the Slovenian and the prospect of signing him.
Speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Presents YouTube channel, the legendary defender discussed Sesko and explained that he will be scaring defenders.
“He’s a young kid, but he’s been at Leipzig where he’s playing and scoring goals. Last season he played 45 games and scored 21 goals and six assists, so the guy knows where the back of the net is.
“Yes it’s a different league, it’s the Bundesliga but he does play international football and scores in international football, he knows where the net is.
“A lot of people are going to say ‘has he got the experience?’, I was one of those guys in that camp asking ‘where is a player who can show the young, inexperienced strikers we have at the club how to do things?’
“In times of need who do they look to, he is going to have to step up and be that guy, can he do it? Yes he can do it, he’s got huge potential.
“As a defender, I am looking and thinking differently about Manchester United’s frontline, I would be thinking, ‘I am going to have a physical presence up there, have a physical test from all three positions and players who can move, they are mobile.'”
