Michael Owen supports Carrick's decision on excluding Sesko against City

Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen defended manager Michael Carrick's choice to leave Benjamin Sesko out of the starting lineup in a recent match against Manchester City. Owen remarked that Sesko was not among the best strikers currently and suggested that Carrick's selection of Matheus Cunha was justifiable. Manchester United faced a disappointing 1-0 defeat against City, where the squad struggled offensively. Owen acknowledged that while Sesko is a good impact player, the club's aspirations require a top-tier center-forward. The next match for United is a Carabao Cup clash against Brighton & Hove Albion, creating an opportunity for Sesko to prove his worth.
