Benjamin Sesko: Man United star puts in worrying display before Liverpool

Manchester United had three players in action during the international break yesterday.

Bryan Mbeumo and Andre Onana represented Cameroon in a 0-0 stalemate with Angola.

While Benjamin Sesko faced off for Slovenia against Switzerland, which ended once again 0-0.

Bryan Mbeumo

The attacker scored in his last match for The Indomitable Lions against Mauritius.

He sent a deep cross into the box from a well-taken free kick and it was just headed wide by his teammate in one of the best chances of the first half.

Mbeumo almost opened the scoring in the second half when he got onto the end of a cross but his right footed volley was well kept out by the Angola keeper.

The winger huffed and puffed but could not generate a goal for his side as they drew the match.

Andre Onana

The United keeper on loan at Trabzonspor had little to do in the encounter as he kept a clean sheet.

His only real work in the first half was to collect a tame effort from an Angolan forward out wide.

He was a tad fortunate when an Angolan free kick struck the crossbar late in the first 45 minutes.

Onana had virtually nothing to do in the second half as his side could not find the winner.

Benjamin Sesko

The Slovenian only managed one shot during his side’s draw with Switzerland.

He could not complete any key passes and he also failed in his only dribble attempt as he struggled to get into the match.

Sesko could also only complete 15 passes in a frustrating evening in an attacking sense.

The giant striker did help out defensively though against a tough Swiss team, making two clearances and one interception for his nation.

He did lose both his ground duels but was strong in the air, winning five of his seven aerial contests.
