He is struggling — Ruben Amorim makes Sesko admission after Spurs draw

The Red Devils agreed a deal worth around £74 million to sign Šeško towards the end of the transfer window and have seen the Slovenia international net twice in his first 11 games across all competitions.

While Amorim insisted he has no fundamental issues with the 22-year-old's attitude, he confessed the pressure is getting to the young player.

“I’m relaxed. He’s not relaxed,” said Amorim. “I understand how things are in football and he’s going to struggle. That is normal.

“If you don’t perform every week, you are going to hear a lot of things from club legends, from pundits, from the media, and sometimes they are right.

"To have the ability to understand that is normal and still maintain your level of confidence is really hard for a young kid, especially for a young kid that is a control freak.”

He concluded by urging his player to accept the reality of the situation:

“He wants to control everything, and he’s not going to control everything. Of course, nobody likes to hear it, but he has struggled a little bit and that is a fact.

"So let’s embrace that. It’s not personal, it’s not nothing. That is what I try to explain to the players."
