Benjamin Sesko ’s agent is unhappy with the Manchester United striker’s ‘super-sub’ title, suggesting his client should be starting more games at Old Trafford .

The 22-year-old scored just two goals during the first-half of the 2025-26 season having also missed a month of action with a knee injury.

But since Ruben Amorim ’s departure, he has been in electric form in front of goal, scoring three in two appearances during Darren Fletcher ’s brief spell in charge with that promising return continuing under Michael Carrick .

Sesko has started just two matches under Carrick with his five goals under the United boss all coming off the bench.

The Slovenia international started in the defeat against Newcastle United in early March but has been back among the subs in the last two games against Aston Villa and Bournemouth.

Carrick has lavished praise on his young striker throughout his spell in charge but there have been increasing calls for Sesko to start more games as United bid to end the season with Champions League qualification.

Sesko’s impact has been frequently compared to that of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – a striker whose biggest moments came after emerging from the bench.

Despite comparisons with United’s greatest ever superb-sub, Sesko’s agent is not a fan of the label.

‘If you ask me about this name, I don’t like it,’ his agent Elvis Basanovic told Arena Sport.

‘I like ‘super striker’ much more. I think Benjamin is a super striker. He has started 13 games this year, coming off the bench in 13 games.

‘He scored half of his goals when he started the game and half when he came off the bench. We can see that he is a complete striker and Benjamin is someone who deserves the name “super striker”.’
