“Really important”: In-form United ace reveals the secret to a glut of Fergie time goals in recent weeks

Manchester United pulled off yet another Fergie time heist, this time away at West Ham United on Tuesday, as they came away from the London Stadium with a point. The visitors were far from their fluent best and struggled to create anything of note, with the summer signings, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, unable to break down the Hammers’ low block. The squad also appears ill-equipped to deal with the pressures of playing twice a week, and Michael Carrick’s blushes were only spared by a stoppage-time equaliser from Benjamin Sesko. “I’m happy with my finish but not so happy with the draw!” Manchester United’s unbeaten run continues but Benjamin Sesko wanted much more… 🎙️ @LiamMacdevitt 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/h8JwrfWEpT — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) February 10, 2026 The Slovenian’s smart finish ensured United remained in fourth position in the Premier League table. Benjamin Sesko was disappointed with the result Talking to TNT Sports after the match, the 22-year-old revealed that he was delighted with his goal but disappointed with the result. He explained that the Red Devils lacked intensity, which was the main reason behind the disappointing performance. “I’m happy with my finish, but yeah, not so happy with the draw, because I know we deserve the win because we were fighting till the end. “Unfortunately, these days come when you’re a bit unlucky. Maybe the intensity was not exactly what it should be. But yeah, we were fighting. In the end, we got a draw, which is really important.” Working in unison To plenty of the away fans, it will almost feel like a win given the dramatic circumstances of the goal. The former RB Leipzig striker also revealed that the camaraderie between the players and the desire to work as a unit have been helping the team over the line since Carrick came onboard. “We are working together no matter what is happening. If we are behind, if we are in front, it does not matter as we are always fighting. As I said again, today, was important to get this draw, because it was difficult game for us. “They were dangerous on the counter attacks when they took a ball. But yeah, we managed to finish with one. We feel amazing. We are doing everything together. When difficult moments are coming, we’re facing it together, which is really important and can lead to the results like right now.” Now to return to winning ways The Slovenian international further explained that a bit more energy and focus will be required for the team to return to winning ways once they return to action in two weeks. “I think we just have to keep on going like we were doing the last games. Just we have to keep in mind that we have to breathe for each other, and we have to we have to take care in every single situations, every every second of the game, to be focused, to be on point, and obviously when the chances are coming to finish them.” Feature image Justin Setterfield via Getty Images The Peoples Person has been one of the world’s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
