Man Utd legend speaks out to ‘apologise’ for ‘misjudging’ one Red after being slammed by Leeds defender

Former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney has attempted to make amends with Benjamin Sesko, who had been unfairly criticized for feigning injury. Sesko, who was sidelined for Manchester United's recent matches, was accused of faking his ailment by some former teammates, including Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt. Rooney himself echoed these sentiments, questioning Sesko's shin injury and suggesting he could still play.

Leeds United defender Saka Bijol, Sesko's Slovenian teammate, defended his colleague, urging the ex-players to refrain from pressuring him during difficult times on the pitch. Rooney later acknowledged his mistake, expressing regret for misjudging Sesko and apologizing for his earlier comments. The 23-year-old has since remained at Manchester United's training ground to undergo additional tests and assessments to better understand the extent of his injury.
