• Striker has been on bench for last six league games

• Branthwaite still hopeful of making World Cup squad

Benjamin Sesko is prepared to be patient in regards to becoming a first-choice pick for Manchester United, with the striker not telling himself “I have to start” every game.

Sesko struck United’s winner in their 1-0 victory at Everton on Monday after coming on as a 71st-minute substitute. It was the third time in four games that the 22-year-old has scored after emerging from the bench. He also scored a 96th-minute equaliser in the 1-1 draw at West Ham two weeks ago and a 93rd-minute winner in the 3-2 victory over Fulham on 1 February.
