Benjamin Sesko is ‘not the answer’ for Manchester United, says Tim Sherwood (Picture: Sky Sports) Tim Sherwood says Benjamin Sesko isn’t yet the ‘answer’ for Manchester United up front and Michael Carrick has shown he is not ready to place his full trust in the striker this season. Sesko hit an impressive run of form towards the back-end of last season but has been limited to substitute appearances three matches into the new Premier League campaign. On Sunday, the 23-year-old attacker was sent on in the closing stages for the third match on the bounce, with the Red Devils seeking a winner after Tyrique George’s stunning equaliser for Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Sesko made his presence known from the off and was rewarded for his efforts as he restored the visitors’ advantage with a fine header past Jordan Pickford with only two minutes remaining of normal time.

The goal sent United’s away support into raptures on Merseyside, with Carrick’s men seemingly on course for their second straight victory after their 5-2 defeat of Ipswich at Old Trafford. But the Toffees rallied again and levelled for a second time in the match through substitute Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who fired a curling 30-yard effort into the corner of Senne Lammens’ goal to make it 2-2 at the death. Carrick may be tempted to throw Sesko in for his first start of the season on Wednesday night when United kick off their Champions League campaign at home to Azerbaijani minnows Sabah.

Everyone is looking for it, Arsenal are looking for it,’ Sherwood said on Sky Sports News. ‘Sesko isn’t the answer because no one wants to play him. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Carrick insists Man Utd's start to season is 'not that bad' after 2-2 draw to Everton","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/09\/07\/6380575265597538231\/480x270_MP4_6380575265597538231.mp4","description":"Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored an absolute worldie in the sixth minute of added time to seal a 2-2 draw for The Toffees.","duration":"T4M8S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/09\/07\/07\/111091361-0-image-a-43_1788761956815.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-09-07T07:17:25+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); ‘He comes on, he’s done alright, he’s come on and scored a few goals off the bench. ‘But if he was top drawer, do you think Michael Carrick would be playing him?

It would be putting it mildly to say Everton’s exhaustive search for a new right-back met an underwhelming response when it concluded with the signing of Ainsley Maitland-Niles on Monday. But there was an overwhelmingly positive reaction to the £4.3m recruit’s Everton debut as his stunning 25-yard strike rescued a point with virtually the final kick of the game against Manchester United.Michael Carrick wiped his face in sheer disbelief after the former Arsenal player, 19 minutes into his first appearance for David Moyes’s side, found Senne Lammens’ top corner to send Hill Dickinson Stadium into raptures at the end of a troubled week. United were on the verge of victory following Benjamin Sesko’s 88th-minute header beyond Jordan Pickford but Everton, indignant and defiant after the shambles of transfer deadline day, twice fought back to preserve their unbeaten start to the season. A slow-burning contest erupted into a wildly entertaining second half. Continue reading...
Man Utd had to settle for a point after a 2-2 draw against Everton (Credits: Action Images via Reuters) Pat Nevin singled out an under-fire Manchester United star for praise following Sunday’s pulsating 2-2 draw against Everton. The Red Devils looked on course for a second consecutive win when Benjamin Sesko struck with just three minutes remaining, powering a header beyond Jodran Pickford following a superb run and cross from the overlapping Luke Shaw. United’s long-serving full-back endured a difficult start to the new season when he struggled badly in a 2-0 opening weekend defeat against newly promoted Hull City. Michael Carrick, however, has maintained his faith in the left-back despite facing criticism for failing to sign another left-back during the closing stages of the transfer window.

Shaw repaid his manager’s confidence with a superb all-round display against the Toffees, providing a threat in attack and coming close to sealing all three points with a brilliant late block. Everton’s pressure ultimately told in injury-time when debutant Ainsley Maitland-Niles equalised with a stunning strike from distance, but former Everton winger Nevin was impressed with a performance from Shaw that rolled back the years. ‘Luke Shaw should be delighted with his work,’ Nevin told the BBC. ‘The reaction from Shaw was superb. He can go home happy with his effects today. Luke Shaw was among Man Utd’s best players in their draw against Everton (Credits: Action Images via Reuters) ‘Benjamin Sesko, very well done. Luke Shaw down the left-hand-side has been phenomenal today. ‘Tyrique George did not manage to go with him, and Shaw gets an easy cross in. George knows it was his man that left him.’ A point maintained Everton’s unbeaten start to the season which has come amid serious unrest among a fanbase which has voiced its dissatisfaction with at an uninspiring transfer window.

Can you imagine if Jack Grealish picks up another injury? ‘He came on and completely changed the game.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
It has taken the best part of 12 months, but Everton are finally starting to feel at home at Hill Dickinson Stadium. On the eve of the new Premier League season, Blues manager David Moyes likened his side's first season at their new, state-of-the-art home on the banks of the River Mersey, which produced only six wins from 19 Premier League games, to a room in a new house that only had the wallpaper up. It was far from an ideal start for Everton, who are still without a natural right-back, but the performances of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, mixed in with a couple of magnificent saves from Jordan Pickford, were enough to help them navigate a difficult first half, in which Eddie Nketiah and Jean-Philippe Mateta struck the post for Palace.
Jerry: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall would be be my choice as Everton's new club captain. Mathew: My heart says Jordan Pickford but my brain says one of the younger, influential players like Jarrad Branthwaite or James Garner. Probably Garner as he is more available.
England face France in search of third place at the 2026 World Cup, where Jordan Pickford will begin the match on the bench for the first time during the tournament. England will look to win the 2026 World Cup third-place game against France at Miami Stadium, and coach Thomas Tuchel has surprisingly left Jordan Pickford out of the starting team for this crucial match. In his place, Dean Henderson is set to make his World Cup debut in goal, getting a rare opportunity after spending the entire tournament as Pickford’s understudy. As happens with Harry Kane, the decision has nothing to do with fitness or form. Pickford has been one of England‘s most reliable performers throughout the tournament, but with the match holding little competitive weight now that the final is out of reach, Tuchel has opted to give Henderson his first taste of World Cup action. Jordan Pickford’s great World Cup campaign Pickford leaves this tournament having delivered a strong campaign between the posts. Across seven appearances, he kept two clean sheets and made 12 saves, numbers that put him ahead of several of the tournament’s other elite goalkeepers. Jordan Pickford reacts during England’s game vs Norway. (Getty Images) While he conceded eight goals across the tournament, his five-save performance against Norway helped send England through to the semifinal against Argentina, where he was once again crucial, denying his opponents on several occasions. Also, following the quarterfinal match against Norway, Pickford made his 18th World Cup appearance, breaking Peter Shilton’s long-standing record as England’s most-capped player in the tournament’s history.
