Maguire's comments come after Sesko was left on the bench for Manchester United's recent match against Fulham, with many questioning his ability to contribute to the team. However, Maguire is confident in Sesko's skills and attributes, stating that he has "all the attributes to contribute to the team and to contribute to this club for many years to come."

United manager Ruben Amorim has also been giving Sesko time to adapt to the Premier League, easing him into life at the club. The Portuguese coach believes that Sesko needs time to settle in and find his footing with the team, which has been struggling for goals this season.

United have had a poor start to the campaign, winning only seven of manager Amorim's 29 games in charge in the Premier League. A win against Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup on Thursday night could help to ease some of the pressure on Amorim, who has faced reports that he could be on the verge of being sacked.
