Overview
- Manchester United confirmed Benjamin Sesko will remain at Carrington for further evaluation and will skip Slovenia’s qualifiers against Kosovo and Sweden.
- The striker suffered a knee injury against Tottenham after a challenge from Micky van de Ven and was substituted during the match.
- Early indications suggest no major damage, yet reports say he may be out for several weeks and is a doubt for the November 24 trip to Everton.
- Manchester Evening News outlined short-term options without a recognized No 9, including Bruno Fernandes as a false nine, minutes for Kobbie Mainoo, Joshua Zirkzee in a deeper role, or a striker-less setup with Mason Mount.
- Transfer talk remains speculative, with Ivan Toney floated as a January target, and MEN reports Joshua Zirkzee is preparing a request to leave in the winter window.
