After joining Manchester United, Slovenian forward Sheszko only scored two goals in 12 games. He also suffered a knee injury against Tottenham last weekend. Manchester United legend Rooney expressed his views on Sheshko's performance.

Rooney said: "Sheszko has had some difficulties scoring goals, but I think he is gradually adapting. The Manchester United goalkeeper performed well. He passed the ball to Sheszko more directly, and what we are seeing now is that the latter is able to compete for the top and control the ball better. When the ball is passed to him, Mbemo, Cunha and Mount are all running behind him. . Because they know that Sheshko will compete for the top and pass the ball, so I think his performance is better than people think."

"However, Sheshko still needs to get the ball more, control the ball, pass the ball and get into the penalty area. I think this will create more scoring opportunities for him. "
