The Slovenian has earned a start after scoring some late goals in recent weeks. Like Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko has taken his opportunities as a sub. It wouldn’t come as a surprise if he starts against Everton as a reward for his key contributions. The big man still has a lot to prove, and it remains to be seen if he can lead the line for Manchester United week in, week out. However, this is a good problem for Michael Carrick to solve.
Everton haven’t really turned the Hill Dickinson Stadium into a fortress so far, and United have a chance to pounce on this on Monday. Everton will also be missing Jack Grealish, who is out due to injury. If United are to qualify for the Champions League next season, they can’t let opportunities like this slip by.
It goes without saying, but United have to start strong. West Ham were stubborn opposition, and Everton will be no different. If United want to leave with three points, they’ll have to show more urgency than they did against the Hammers.
