Man United's Amorim: Sesko 'struggled' since big-money transfer

MANCHESTER, England -- Ruben Amorim has admitted Benjamin Sesko has "struggled" since his summer move to Manchester United, following criticism directed at the striker from former defender Gary Neville.

Sesko has scored two goals in 11 games following his £73.7 million ($97m) move from RB Leipzig.

After a frustrating game in the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, during which the 22-year-old managed just 21 touches in 90 minutes, Neville said he "wants to see more" from the Slovenian, who he also described as "awkward."
