Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick has heaped praise on Benjamin Sesko ahead of the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Slovenian striker has been in fine form since the turn of the year. He has yet to start under Carrick, but has made significant goal contributions coming off the bench.

The 22-year-old scored a late winning goal against Fulham this month before bagging a dramatic equaliser at West Ham United. He netted another winner at Everton this week.

Unsurprisingly, the club’s faithful have voted him as the Player of the Month for February, but Carrick has continued to insist that there is no ‘selection headache’ for him.

He told MUTV: “It’s definitely not a headache, I’ll tell you that. The way he’s training, his attitude, he’s in really good spirits. It’s certainly not a headache, there’s a decision to be made but it’s not made difficult because the boys understand it and all play a part.”

“Sometimes it’s going to be one player, sometimes it might be someone else, but it’s the group that’s the most important thing and the boys have been fantastic with that.”
