Benjamin Sesko has been mocked by a former Manchester United duo in a brutal swipe, but his Slovenia team-mate has jumped to his defence
Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko was defended by Slovenia teammate Jaka Bijol following criticism from former United midfielders Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt. Sesko missed Saturday's fixture against Fulham due to shin discomfort and subsequently withdrew from international duty with Slovenia.
