Benjamin Sesko Injury: Man Utd Fear Four-Month Absence

United fear the striker could miss four months after extensive tests, leaving Michael Carrick with only one senior centre-forward option.

  • Manchester United faces the possibility of being without Benjamin Sesko for the rest of the year, with the 23-year-old potentially sidelined for up to four months due to a recurring shin injury.
  • Sesko's 2025-26 campaign ended prematurely in May after aggravating a shin injury against Liverpool; he returned in September to score against Everton and Sabah before the injury resurfaced last month.
  • Stephen Smith, CEO of Kitman Labs, described recurring injuries as a game of "whack-a-mole," noting that if imaging reveals structural damage, "more invasive options become part of the conversation."
  • Bryan Mbeumo has led the line in United's recent matches, scoring four goals this season, while Joshua Zirkzee remains the only other alternative after starting just one match under Carrick.
  • Financial constraints during the summer suggest a major arrival in January is unlikely for United, leaving manager Michael Carrick forced to rely on the current squad after previous conservative approaches failed.
