Robbie Fowlerhas remained unimpressed byManchester United summer signing Benjamin Seskoand mentions that the forward currently resembles an academy player.

Sesko has experienced a quiet beginning to hisOld Traffordcareer since he came to a£74 million transfer from RB Leipzig last summer.

The Slovenian player has found the net only twice in 11 matches played forRuben Amorimon the team's side in every match, and has frequently been limited to brief appearances in United's most significant games this season.

Following the Red Devils' signingBryan Mbeumo and Matheus CunhaThey were eager to bring in a well-known No9 to replace the underperforming Rasmus Hojlund, who eventually moved to Napoli.

However, United only took action for Sesko following Amorim's primary selection.Viktor Gyokeres, with whom he collaborated at Sporting,signed for Arsenal in a transfer valued at £64m.

Although he hasn't yet set the world on fire, Gyokeres has already scored four goals in ten league matches, and Fowler thinks the Swedish player has made a much more positive impact than the aforementioned Sesko.

Asked which forward had adjusted more quickly to the English top division, Fowler statedAdventure Gamers'For me, I think the clear choice is Gyokeres.

He likely thrives more in the Premier League, and he grasps what is required regarding pace, vigor, and dedication.

While Sesko may have faced some challenges at times. He appears somewhat, I hope I'm not coming across incorrectly, like an academy player.

I am certain he is a skilled player. No one is doubting his talent, but right now, I believe Gyokeres is clearly the better choice between the two.

Elsewhere, former Newcastle United forward Alan Shearer thinks that£74m spent on Sesko, the fifth most expensive signing in the club's history, already seems overpriced.

"They paid over 70 million for him," he said.Betfairthat was a significant amount of money, i acknowledge it's the market but it was excessive. he has faced a challenging beginning and honestly, i don't anticipate great things from him.

I believe he is a skilled athlete, but I'm not certain he exceeds that. He could have netted a few additional goals up to this point.

It has been a challenging beginning for him, particularly given the amount that United spent.

Sesko is currently sidelined following a knee injury he sustained during the 2-2 match against Tottenham before the international break.

Although Manchester United have not yet issued an official statement,sources indicate that the forward has escaped a major injury and will be sidelined for no longer than a month.

Manchester United will face Everton at Old Trafford next Monday, followed by a sequence of three matches within eight days against Crystal Palace, West Ham, and Wolves.
