GARY NEVILLE reckons Manchester United’s big-money signing Benjamin Sesko still hasn’t proved he’s the real deal.
The Slovenian produced yet another quiet display in the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.
United looked on course for three points when Casemiro powered home a header from a corner in the 34th minute.
But Forest hit back right after the break through a brilliant Morgan Gibbs-White header and just two minutes later Nicolo Savona fired the hosts ahead to spark wild celebrations, with new boss Sean Dyche eyeing his first Premier League win at the City Ground.
However, the Red Devils snatched a late point when Amad Diallo smashed in a stunning volley nine minutes from time to rescue Ruben Amorim’s men.
But one player who failed to shine again was £74million striker Sesko.

The former RB Leipzig striker who joined United in the summer has now gone five games without finding the net.
Neville, speaking on NBC Sports, admitted he’s yet to be convinced: “I’m no further forward with him, the jury’s still out.
“He’s miles off it compared to the other forwards United brought in, like Cunha and Mbeumo.
“He looks awkward, his touch was off a few times when balls went over the top.

“For £80m, yes he’s young and still settling but you want to see something more.”
Despite dropping points, boss Amorim insists his side are heading in the right direction.
He said: “We lost control for five minutes but in the past we’d have collapsed.
“We played well overall, just lacked a bit of energy and when we’re at full power, we’re the better team.
My players are giving everything but we know we can do better. We dropped two points, so we must win the next one.”
Amorim also had praise for hero Amad Diallo. He said: “Amad has huge talent and he’s growing fast.
“He can play in different positions and he’s improving every week.
He just needs to be more consistent but he’s getting there.”
Amorim and United will hope they can get back to winning ways when they take on Tottenham next in the Premier League.
