Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer believes Man United striker Benjamin Sesko should be blamed for the Red Devils’ struggle this season.

The Man Utd summer signing has two goals in 11 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils and Shearer reckons Sesko had two chances he’d expect the striker to score.

“Sesko struggled again. He’s only scored twice in his 12 appearances and he came on today with just over half hour to go and had two really, really good chances and should have scored, to be honest,” Shearer told BBC Match of the Day.

“They worked it really well for him to get in. He’s either got to get his shot away early or he’s got to push that ball forward quicker. He’s not going to get that amount of time in the Premier League to work it back on his right foot.

“This one (Sesko’s second chance) is the bigger puzzle for me. I know he’s struggling for confidence but any centre-forward knows you cannot allow the centre-half to come back at you, you’ve got to get across Van de Ven.

“By that time he should have a picture in his head of where the keeper is and what he wants to do. I don’t think he has a clue he wants to do because I don’t even think he even knows Van de Ven is there and chasing him.

“I know he’s struggling with confidence but it’s a big ‘must do better’. No one likes to see him coming off injured and we hope his knee is okay but they are two chances you’d expect at that level that someone has to put away.”
