Man United fear worst-case scenario as Sesko faces a significant spell on the sidelines

Manchester United fear striker Benjamin Sesko could be sidelined for up to four months due to an injury setback. The 23-year-old Slovenian international has already missed five weeks after sustaining an issue against Brighton & Hove Albion in mid-September. The club is reportedly concerned that he may remain unavailable until early 2027 following comprehensive checks at the Carrington training complex.

Manager Michael Carrick has been forced to utilize alternative attacking options, including Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, ahead of United's Champions League match against Como. Sesko's extended absence, alongside Joshua Zirkzee's form struggles, could reportedly prompt INEOS to target a new striker during the January transfer window.
