Benjamin Sesko has issued a rallying cry to Manchester United fans after scoring in the win over Sunderland . Sesko scored the second goal of the day for United in their 2-0 triumph over the Black Cats in Saturday's Premier League clash.
Mason Mount opened the scoring at Old Trafford, helping Ruben Amorim's squad bounce back from their loss to Brentford the previous weekend. The Red Devils will now head into the international break with a spring in their step following their victory over Sunderland.
Many members of the United squad, including Sesko, will join their national teams for the next two weeks before regrouping at Carrington for the showdown against Liverpool in the Premier League later this month. Sesko is set to represent Slovenia in their World Cup qualifiers against Kosovo and Switzerland in the coming weeks.
After his standout performance against Sunderland, the forward shared a message with his 1.5 million Instagram followers.
"What a feeling! A goal at the Stretford End and three points to go with it," Sesko wrote on Instagram. "Let’s build on this. Hungry for more!"
Since his summer move from RB Leipzig, Sesko has scored two goals for United, both in the last two matches against Brentford and Sunderland. The 22-year-old will now be keen to keep up this momentum when United take on Liverpool in their next match after the international break.
Sesko also elaborated on the emotions he felt after scoring his first Old Trafford goal for United. Despite the goal being a personal landmark for the striker, Sesko still pointed to the importance of the team getting all three points in a crucial Premier League fixture.

"Amazing, the atmosphere after the goal is something I've dreamed about always. Hopefully I can carry on this way," said Sesko, via BBC Sport.
"Definitely important for me. In general for the team it's even more important. When you have a lead like that it's easy to get comfortable.
"We are training every single week, we are trying to know where to be in every situation. We're getting better and better."
