Manchester United fans call for Sesko's early introduction in derby

Summary

During the second half of the derby against Manchester City, Manchester United fans urged manager Michael Carrick to substitute in Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian forward entered the match in the 67th minute but couldn't influence the game as United trailed at that point. Fans had been chanting for Sesko to play earlier given his recent scoring form in prior matches. Manchester United currently sits in 13th place in the EPL standings, having struggled in their last two league outings. The team is set to begin their Carabao Cup campaign at home against Brighton on Wednesday.
