Diogo Dalot identifies Benjamin Sesko as fastest Manchester United player
Summary

Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot has named teammate Benjamin Sesko as the fastest player in the club's current squad. This assessment challenges perceptions regarding the speed of other players including Marcus Rashford, Amad, and Bryan Mbeumo. Sesko has yet to start a match for Manchester United this season, having dealt with a missed pre-season period and limited substitute appearances to regain fitness. The team has struggled to convert attacking opportunities, with the current false nine approach failing to provide a consistent focal point for crosses into the penalty area. Supporters and staff are now looking toward a potential starting opportunity for the Slovenian forward in the upcoming fixture against Everton. A starting role for Sesko is viewed as a necessary change to improve the team's offensive efficiency and capitalize on the squad's available pace.
