Benjamin Sesko’s Agent Rejects 'Super-Sub' Label, Calls Him a 'Super Striker'
Frustration Over Impact Role
Benjamin Sesko has netted seven Premier League goals since the turn of the year, establishing himself as a clinical force under Michael Carrick’s tutelage at Manchester United.
Agent's 'Super Striker' Rebuttal
Speaking to Arena Sport, agent Elvis Basanovic dismissed the 'super-sub' label, insisting his client is a complete striker.
"If you ask me about this name [Super-sub], I don’t like it," Basanovic said. "I like ‘super striker’ much more. I think Benjamin is a super striker. He has started 13 games this year, coming off the bench in 13 games. He scored half of his goals when he started the game and half when he came off the bench. We can see that he is a complete striker and Benjamin is someone who deserves the name 'super striker!'"
Managing Workload and Future Outlook
United have been careful with Sesko’s minutes following recent fitness concerns, using him as a weapon off the bench to keep him explosive in the Premier League’s high‑intensity environment.
- 7 Premier League goals since January 2026
- 13 starts and 13 bench appearances in 2026
- Half of his goals came as a starter, half as a substitute
- Manchester United sit third with 55 points from 31 matches
- One point ahead of fourth‑placed Aston Villa
- Next fixture: Leeds United at Old Trafford on April 13
