  "account": "Premier League defenders may soon have a new nightmare to face, according to Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot. The right-back has revealed that his teammate Benjamin Sesko is the fastest player in the squad. While this claim may surprise many fans, Dalot's statement should not be taken lightly. Sesko's speed could be a significant advantage for United, especially if he can utilize it effectively on the counter-attack. However, it remains to be seen if the Slovenian can maintain his pace during full matches, as he has only managed cameo appearances so far this season.\n\nSesko has yet to start a game this season, having missed out on pre-season training. Michael Carrick may give him an opportunity to prove himself against Everton, as United have been struggling to score goals in the false nine experiment. Matheus Cunha's influence has been minimal, and crosses into the box have been going to waste without a natural striker to attack them. If Sesko can step in and cause trouble up front, United would become a much more dangerous opposition. A potential lineup featuring Rashford, Mbeumo, and Sesko would be a nightmare for any defense to face, especially given the pace they all possess.",
