Former Premier League manager Tim Sherwood has told Manchester United that Benjamin Šeško is not good enough to play for the club.
This is despite the striker scoring two goals against Burnley on Wednesday night. The Slovenian found the net as the Red Devils began a new chapter without Ruben Amorim, settling for a draw at Turf Moor.
Sherwood made the comments while working as a commentator for Sky Sports during the match.
The former Aston Villa coach acknowledged Šeško’s goals but maintained that the forward lacks the quality required to play for Manchester United.
“I think the positive is Šeško scoring two goals. Hopefully, that helps him gain confidence. It’s been six months since he joined Manchester United, and I’m pleased for the kid.
“He’s been going through a really tough time, and I even said he should have left at half-time and never played for Manchester United again.
“Look, give him some credit. Maybe he can build some confidence and we might start to see a different side of him.
“However, I stand by what I said — he’s not good enough to play for Manchester United. He’s played one game against Burnley, a team likely to be relegated.
“Still, give him credit. Hopefully, he gains confidence and we start to see improved performances. I might even add him to my fantasy football team now!”
Manchester United were led by Darren Fletcher for the 2–2 draw against Burnley.
