Rio Ferdinand compares Benjamin Sesko to ex-Man Utd team-mate - 'A joke'Rio Ferdinand has leapt to the defence of Benjamin Sesko, insisting the Manchester United frontman is still having an impact even if he's only scored twice since his summer moveView 2 Images Benjamin Sesko has only scored twice since his summer switch to Manchester (Image: Getty Images)Rio Ferdinand has claimed that criticism of Benjamin Sesko is wide of the mark and believes a lot of his contributions are hugely effective - even if he's not scoring regularly. ‌The Slovenian made the move to Manchester United from RB Leipzig for £70million in the summer, but has scored just twice. His slow start has seen him come in for criticism but Ferdinand sees similarities between Sesko and his former team-mate, Louis Saha. ‌Ferdinand sees similarities with Sesko, who has led an attacking line that also features Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha. Manchester United haven’t had a striker who can just hold it up or flick it on for ages.
