A prominent Manchester United player appears likely to be benched by Michael Carrick after poor performance, making way for Benjamin Sesko to start.
On 13 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Amad Diallo, the small-statured Ivorian forward of the Red Devils, Manchester United of the Premier League, seems set to be dropped to the bench by Michael Carrick following disappointing form, opening the door for Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko to start.
Previously, under Ruben Amorim's tenure, although the team's overall performance was not great, Amad Diallo's individual form was quite good. He was considered one of the team's hopefuls at that time, contributing goals and assists intermittently. However, under Michael Carrick's era, despite the team's improved results, Diallo's personal performance has declined, with no goals or assists recorded so far.
As a result, Amad Diallo, who remains an important player for the team, may be dropped to a substitute role in the next match to make way for Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko, whose form is improving steadily, to link up with Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha in attack.
