Let's Analyze! 🧠🧵

1/ Sesko has the ideal profile for a modern striker, especially when it comes to pace. His speed makes him a constant threat in behind.

That perfectly complements Amorim’s buildup: wing-backs receive early, then look to thread balls through to forwards making diagonal runs.

2/ But Amorim’s buildup has its trade-offs.
At times, United commit high in possession, and when the attack stalls, they’re forced to face an organized low block.

That’s still a major weakness: breaking down compact defenses remains one of this team’s biggest challenges.

3/ Interestingly, Sesko outperforms players like Ollie Watkins in key areas, notably aerial duels won and shot conversion rate.

That makes him a valuable asset against deep, compact defenses where efficiency and physical presence matter most.

4/ Against low blocks, Manchester United often circulate possession in wide areas, with players like Bruno and Casemiro drifting into the half-spaces to deliver crosses.

This is where Sesko’s aerial presence and movement in the box become especially valuable.

5/ Furthermore, Off-the-ball movement from Cunha, Bruno, and Mbeumo helps create small pockets of space, exactly the kind of openings Sesko thrives on, thanks to his impressive shot conversion rate.

6/ He’s also one of the most effective long-range shooters in Europe, which makes him even more dangerous against low blocks.

As the opposition sits deep, it creates more space in the middle third which Sesko can drift into and punish with powerful efforts from distance.

7/ End of thread. Thank you for your time and feel free to check out the full video here:
