Carrick pleased with Sesko’s return to form ahead of Manchester derby

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick expressed satisfaction with the return of forward Benjamin Sesko to full form ahead of the upcoming Premier League derby against Manchester City. Sesko, 23, had been sidelined for nearly three months after sustaining a shin injury in May.

Sesko made his comeback in the most recent league match, coming on as a substitute in the final 20 minutes of a 2-2 draw against Everton. He then added a goal in Thursday's 4-0 Champions League victory over Azerbaijani side Sabah at home. Carrick praised Sesko's physicality, playing on the last line, and his speed in running in behind.

The manager was pleased with Sesko's performance, noting that the young player's goals and increased minutes in the team have provided a significant confidence boost. Sesko himself acknowledged the importance of recovering well and focusing on the derby ahead of Sunday's match.
