Former England international Shearer and Reinkell talked about Manchester United's new center Sheshko's performance in the Manchester derby.
Manchester United had appeared many times in the Manchester City derby. They could have passed the ball into the penalty area to create a moment for Sheshko to compete for crossing opportunities, but the team eventually chose to pass back or cross across. Hiller expressed concern about Manchester United's use of Sheshko: "I paid special attention to Sheshko because I obviously played in this position. He had another chance to shoot at the beginning of the game. In addition, he must be thinking: 'Is there any chance? Can I pass a ball to me?' Even if it's a ball that can be chased by him or a cross."
Reinker added: "Sheshko has not received any effective pass support at all. Only once he successfully countered offside, but his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper. However, as a tall player, his speed is indeed good. I have been specifically following him in the game for a long time. Although watching the game on TV is different from watching the game on the spot, he He has a flexible running position and will suddenly step forward, but I feel sorry for him. It is really difficult to play without passing support."
Hiller said that he had seen Shezko's performance for Leipzig in the Champions League last season. Considering the huge pressure Manchester United currently faces, he believes that the transfer fee paid by Manchester United for Shezko may be too high: "I watched him several UEFA Champions League games last season, and he is worth a lot of money. Manchester United is in a difficult situation now. It is too much pressure to hit the target from its current position and make him gain a foothold in such a team. I think it is extremely difficult for him to succeed this season."
As of now, Shezko has played for Manchester United five times and has not scored yet.
