How Benjamin Sesko Will Develop into a Lethal Striker Under Ruben Amorim...
Sesko’s Raw Talent: A Perfect Fit for Amorim’s System
At 22, Benjamin Sesko is a 6ft 5in striker with pace, power, and a nose for goals (21 in all comps last season at RB Leipzig). His physicality, aerial dominance, and ability to run channels make him an ideal No. 9 for Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, where a focal-point striker thrives.
Sesko’s Obsession with Improvement
Ruben Amorim praises Benjamin Sesko’s “obsession” with football, noting his relentless work ethic—staying after training for fitness and stretching, always asking smart questions. This drive aligns with Amorim’s demand for players who live for the game, ensuring Sesko will absorb tactical lessons quickly.
Tactical Fit in Amorim’s 3-4-3
Sesko’s ability to hold up play, link with wingers like Cunha and Mbeumo, and dominate aerially fits Amorim’s 3-4-3 system. His pace (top speed 35.69 km/h) allows him to exploit counters, while his height makes him a target for crosses—adding a dimension United lacked last season .
Mental Growth Under Pressure
Amorim doesn’t need to remind Sesko of United’s high stakes—he’s already “psychologically prepared” for the Premier League’s intensity, per Slovenia teammate Andraz Sporar. Amorim’s structured environment will help Sesko handle Old Trafford’s scrutiny and refine his decision-making.
Learning from Elite Teammates
Sesko will benefit from playing alongside creative forces like Bruno Fernandes, whose “top passes” can find him in goal-scoring positions, and dynamic wingers Cunha and Mbeumo, who create space with their ball-carrying. This attacking trio, backed by Amorim’s coaching, could make United lethal.
Areas for Growth
Sesko isn’t the finished article. His hold-up play and consistency against low-block defenses need work, as United often face such teams. Amorim’s focus on tactical versatility and training intensity will help Sesko develop these skills, much like he improved Gyokere
