BREAKING: Nemanja Vidić BLASTS Amorim’s Decisions – Urges United to Start Sesko After Being Left on the Bench While Cunha Struggles.

Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidić has once again sent shockwaves across Old Trafford with his blunt assessment of Ruben Amorim’s team selection. The former Red Devils captain, who built his reputation on passion, discipline, and leadership, has openly criticized the manager for continuing to prefer Matheus Cunha as United’s starting striker while keeping Benjamin Šeško on the bench.
United’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Burnley may have temporarily eased the pressure on Amorim, but the fallout after the game has been just as fiery as the action on the pitch. For Vidić, the issue was crystal clear: Manchester United are not maximizing their potential by leaving Šeško out of the starting XI.
Speaking after the match, Vidić did not mince his words. “Amorim is not serious,” the Serbian icon declared. “How could you have a player like Šeško on your bench and prefer to start Cunha as your striker? I watched this boy’s performance today when he finally came on and OMG — he is so good. With his height, power, and positioning, he could have scored three goals in this game alone with his headers.”
Šeško’s impact after coming off the bench only strengthened Vidić’s argument. Despite limited minutes, the Slovenian striker immediately caused chaos in Burnley’s defense. His aerial dominance, clever runs, and physical presence offered United a different dimension in attack, something fans have been calling for in recent weeks.
United supporters on social media quickly echoed Vidić’s frustrations. Many argued that Amorim’s insistence on starting Cunha, who has struggled for consistency, is holding the team back. “Sesko changes everything when he comes on,” one fan tweeted. “He makes defenders panic. He has to start.”
For Vidić, the matter goes beyond one game. He believes United risk wasting one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards by refusing to give him regular starting opportunities. “I’ve been saying this for weeks, but people thought I was against Amorim,” Vidić explained. “I’m not. I want Manchester United to win. But leaving Šeško out is a huge mistake. You cannot waste such talent on the bench. He is ready, and he must start.”
The strong comments come at a delicate time for Amorim. Already under pressure after a series of inconsistent results, the Portuguese coach is facing criticism not only from fans but now also from club legends. When voices like Vidić’s and Rooney’s speak out, the pressure intensifies and questions about his judgment grow louder.
Šeško himself has remained professional, rarely commenting on his playing time, but insiders claim the young striker has been frustrated by his lack of starts. Having joined United with the expectation of leading the line in a new era, he now finds himself proving his worth from the bench week after week.
The situation has sparked a wider debate about Amorim’s tactical choices. Is he sticking with Cunha out of loyalty to his system, or is he simply hesitant to hand the responsibility to a 22-year-old still finding his feet in the Premier League? Either way, the longer Šeško sits on the bench, the more scrutiny the manager faces.
For fans, pundits, and legends alike, one thing is clear: Benjamin Šeško is ready. With his blend of power, technique, and aerial ability, he has the tools to become United’s main striker. The question is whether Amorim will recognize this soon enough — or whether his reluctance could cost him both results and credibility.
As United prepare for their next fixtures, the spotlight will be firmly on Amorim’s team sheet. Will he finally give Šeško the start so many are demanding, or will he continue with Cunha despite mounting criticism? Whatever the decision, it could define not only United’s season but also Amorim’s future at Old Trafford.
