Man Utd news: Slovenian media react to Michael Carrick picking Benjamin Sesko over Matheus Cunha

Manchester United duo Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko and manager Michael Carrick

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick’s decision to play Matheus Cunha as the number nine instead of Benjamin Sesko has left the Slovenian media furious, as the 45-year-old drops a hint on whether the striker could start against Sabah at Old Trafford in the Champions League on Thursday evening.

Sesko has made three substitute appearances for Man Utd in the Premier League so far this season.

The Slovenia international striker has scored once in those games

Cunha has been deployed as the number nine for Man Utd so far this campaign.

The Brazil international is not a natural striker and has failed to score in any of those games, although he has registered one assist.

Against Everton last weekend, Cunha started up front for Man Utd.
