Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko has downplayed concerns after a quiet opening to his Manchester United career. Since his arrival he has made three Premier League appearances, all as a substitute, and his only start came in the Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town. He is yet to open his account for Ruben Amorim\u2019s side, a fact that has increased scrutiny around the transfer.<\/p>\n
After linking up with the Slovenia national team \u0160e\u0161ko met local media and rejected any suggestion that his confidence has been damaged by a goalless start or United\u2019s early-season form. \u201cAs far as my psychological state is concerned, everything is fine because I have people who help me with that,\u201d he insisted. \u201cI am staying strong and I am positive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0160e\u0161ko acknowledged the step up in competition after leaving the Bundesliga for the Premier League but said he is close to settling and expects to alter the narrative soon. \u201cThe level of the matches is certainly much higher, the players and teammates are also at a higher level,\u201d he explained. \u201cAfter all, English football is at the highest level in the world of football.<\/p>\n
“But I am very much looking forward to the coming period, also because I am getting better and faster in every training session, and I am also progressing in my football mentality every day. I wanted to move to England and fortunately my wish came true.\u201d<\/p>\n
United have won one of their four fixtures so far this season, and the return of Premier League action after the international break presents a clear opportunity for the forward to respond. United travel to face Manchester City on September 14, a fixture \u0160e\u0161ko accepts will be a stern test. \u201cIt\u2019s true, it\u2019s an incredibly big match coming up,\u201d \u0160e\u0161ko confessed. \u201cThere will simply be some pressure on both sides to just win this match. There\u2019s still quite a bit to go until this match, but we\u2019re definitely looking forward to a top-notch match.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
