Very little went wrong for Manchester United on Thursday as they kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 4-0 win over Sabah.
There was a clean sheet and goals for a host of United's forward players, as the Reds set up their Manchester derby meeting with City this weekend in style.
One of those on the score sheet was Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenia international was making his first start of the season having worked his way back to fitness following a shin injury, and he rounded the goalkeeper and finished calmly to extend United's lead before half-time on Thursday night.
Sesko was brought off just after the hour mark for Joshua Zirkzee, perhaps an indication that he will start this weekend's derby. But do you think that would be the right choice?
Sesko looked sharp and will be full of confidence after his goal. But having missed all of pre-season and with just one start under his belt so far this campaign, would starting him in the derby less than 72 hours after the Sabah win be too much of a risk?
There's plenty to ponder. Let us know what you think below:
