Just weeks after saying Benjamin Sesko isn't good enough for Manchester United, Tim Sherwood has been prompted into an apology for the Slovenian striker.Speaking in January, Sherwood sparked a strong backlash by criticising the Red Devils forward.The former Tottenham and Aston Villa boss, reacting after Sesko bagged a brace against Burnley in a 2-2 draw, said: I think the positive is Sesko scoring two goals.Hopefully he gets some confidence going. Its took him six months to turn up at Man United and Im pleased for the lad.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayHes had a tough run of it. I had him off the pitch at half-time, never to wear a Man United shirt again.However, he maintained his stance on the forward by saying: I stand by what I said. Hes not good enough to play for Man United.Hes turned up for one game against Burnley who are going to get relegated."Now, however, Sherwood has backtracked - with the Sky pundit issuing an apology live on air earlier on Monday and admitting he 'got it wrong'.Sesko has been outstanding in recent weeks, with the forward scoring for the third game on the trot in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.He has come good under Michael Carrick and Sherwood believes the departure of Ruben Amorim has helped the 22-year-old find his best form, insisting he wasn't the right man to lead the player.LATEST SPORTS NEWS:10 talking points from the Premier League including Ramadan row, Arsenal art form and weird Sunday quirkPremier League sensationally forced to delete own tweet after furious complaints from TottenhamMick Schumacher crashes on first lap in nightmare return to racing as 'door closed' on F1 careerSesko has certainly won round Carrick, with the United boss lavishing praise on his marksman.Absolutely delighted for Ben. Ive sat here and said that it [starting him] hasnt been a headache, its not been a big deal. Its not been a big drama," he said after the Palace win.Hes had a huge impact Ben and hes making big improvements. "Hes getting used to what its like to be here, the feelings and what it means to play and things we take for granted at times."Hes desperate to do well. He works so hard. He thinks about it an awful lot. Hes an absolute pleasure to work with.Today he started and it was a fantastic goal. Hes bringing a lot. Weve got good flexibility across the top line, you know in the front players and different players can play different roles."Theres a lot of flexibility there and Amad took some time out today, and that might change again for Wednesday. But its nice to have them options really.Carrick continued: I think Jonathan [Woodgate] is obviously working closely with him and connecting with him and building that relationship and that trust. I think thats important when youre trying to help players individually and certainly as a team.And lots on Ben, Hes putting the work in, hes stayed positive. He knows how he wants to improve and hes pretty clear on that, but hes a good player. Its why hes here. Hes a good player and hes got some great strengths and I think theyre coming and being clear to see. Hes scoring different types of goals but hes such a real threat.
