With the Africa Cup of Nations reaching its knockout phase, Ruben Amorim could be forgiven for hoping Cameroon and Ivory Coast make a pretty quick exit. It's not that the pair are the answer to all of United's problems. After all, they were part of the side that lost at home to 10-man Everton in November and drew with third bottom West Ham less than two weeks later. Sesko is lacking in confidence and doesn't believe he is going to score. His failure to turn home Zirkzee's cross means it is now nine games without a goal.
