Man Utd fans’ reaction to Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko after the result against Nottingham Forest spoke volumes
Both Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha started against Nottingham Forest and the two Manchester United summer signings saw out the full 90 minutes on Saturday.
However, United fans were left questioning how Ruben Amorim did not make the call to withdraw the aforementioned pair in the second half for key substitutions.
One Red Devils supporter wrote: “Sesko and Cunha out for [Mason] Mount and [Joshua] Zirkzee.”
Another posted: “Sesko [and] Cunha look knackered. Mount [and] Zirkzee are right there.”
“Mount for Cunha. Cunha doesn’t look fit,” a third claimed.
Somebody else said: “Cunha ain’t performing and Mount is still warming the bench.”
“This type of [match] screams for Mason Mount. Should’ve started ahead of Cunha,” a fifth United fan added.
A sixth X user tweeted: “I can’t believe Cunha [and] Mount are playing 80 minutes in this match.”
“Make attacking changes now. Zirkzee for Sesko, Mount for Cunha. Maybe [Harry] Maguire comes in for late set pieces,” another commented.
And an eighth suggested: “Cunha off for Mount/Zirk [sic] should have been the 60th minute sub. IDK [I don’t know] why he’s still on the pitch, clearly not his day.”
Keeping Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko on has come back to haunt Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim
Amad Diallo came to United’s rescue late in the second half and Ruben Amorim was fortunate not to be left red-faced with a defeat after his side blew a 2-0 lead.
Cunha and Sesko failed to swing the momentum back in United’s favour by finding a potential winner and the United manager will be left to rue his tactical changes.
Joshua Zirkzee, Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo were all available on the bench and Amorim did not turn to a single one of them while United were trailing the tie.
United will hit the road again for their final Premier League match ahead of the international break, with the Red Devils facing Tottenham on 8th November.
Thomas Frank’s Spurs side will host the Red Devils at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a 12:30pm kick-off time in the UK for next Saturday’s clash.
