Fletcher left frustrated as United draws again, but praises Sesko brace

Manchester United caretaker boss Darren Fletcher hopes Benjamin Sesko's double in a 2-2 draw at Burnley proves to be a launch pad for the Slovenian striker after a tough start to life at Old Trafford.

Sesko had scored just twice in 17 appearances since his 74 million-pound ($100 million) move from RB Leipzig prior to Wednesday's trip to Turf Moor.

However, Jaidon Anthony's fine strike saw United drop points for the fifth time in six games.

"It helps me for my confidence, but also it is most important to help the team in every single situation," Sesko told the BBC. "It's been tough, but now I finally did it, and I'm happy I could help the team, this is the most important thing for me, and now it's just up to me, and up to us, to keep going like that."

The 22-year-old produced two clinical finishes early in the second half to turn the game around for United, after Ayden Heaven's own goal gave Burnley a halftime lead.

"I was so happy for him. I spoke to him yesterday, and we presented a video showing his movement and showing his goals, just showing how it is coming, and how he needs to keep believing and the players need to get more service to him," said Fletcher.

"He did that tonight, and scored two great goals. A real positive night for Ben.

"The team is disappointed with a point, but in terms of a personal level, hopefully he can kick on from that now."

However, Sesko showing signs of life was the only positive from another damaging night for United's chances of returning to the Champions League next season.
