Following the emotional comeback against Fulham, Coach Michael Carrick expressed great pride in Manchester United’s fighting spirit and gave special praise to the hero Benjamin Sesko.
After Manchester United’s dramatic 3-2 win over Fulham at Old Trafford, Coach Michael Carrick couldn’t hide his emotions. The English manager emphasized that Old Trafford always brings something special, especially during critical moments of the season.
Carrick said: “I mentioned this before the Man City game. This is a special place that creates unique moments. The players knew today would be extremely tough. Fulham played very well, and we had to answer many questions about our style. The whole team managed to do that for most of the match.”
In this match, MU once led 2-0 despite not dominating the game. However, Harry Maguire’s mistake leading to a penalty and Kevin’s stunning equalizer brought the hosts back to 2-2 in the final minutes. Nevertheless, with Bruno Fernandes’ second assist, Benjamin Sesko scored the decisive goal in stoppage time, securing a breathtaking victory.
Speaking about his player, Carrick gave special praise to Sesko: “That’s the life of a striker. You have to be in the right place to seize opportunities. He has worked very hard in recent weeks, and today was a well-deserved reward. Scoring the winning goal in front of the Stretford End is a moment Sesko will remember for a long time.”
Finally, the English tactician emphasized the importance of this win: “This was a big game because Fulham is close to us in the standings. Every match is a challenge, and today was one of the toughest tests. But we overcame it and took the victory.”
This emotional win not only helps MU solidify their position in the Premier League’s top group by holding a top 4 spot, but also boosts the confidence of Carrick’s squad during this crucial phase of the season.
