Leeds star rallies behind ‘incredible’ Man Utd rival after club legends take unnecessary swipe

Leeds United's Jaka Bijol has stood by his fellow countryman Benjamin Sesko after former Manchester United stars Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt criticized the striker on The Good, The Bad & The Football. Sesko missed the weekend's match against Fulham due to a shin injury that has also barred him from international play with Slovenia.

Scholes suggested Sesko wear shin pads if his injury wasn't broken, while Butt said, "You're a player – you either break your shin or you play!" The comments have left a negative impact on Sesko's confidence, according to Bijol, who stated that the former should not be swayed by such pressure.
