A club of Manchester United's stature does not spend £73.7 million on a striker to leave him watching from the touchline. Benjamin Sesko, two games into his Old Trafford chapter, stands at the threshold of his first start — not at a grand stage, but at Grimsby, a fourth-tier ground United last visited in 1948. Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie is less a football match than a reckoning with the quiet urgency of investment, fitness, and the patience a new era demands.
