Pundit Floats Welbeck Return as Mentor for Sesko as January Speculation Grows

Don Hutchison argues Welbeck’s resurgence makes a short-term mentoring fit plausible during Sesko’s knee recovery.

Overview

  • Sesko, signed from RB Leipzig in the summer, has two goals and one assist in 12 appearances this season.
  • He was withdrawn with a suspected knee issue in the 2-2 draw at Tottenham, missed international duty, and is reportedly weeks from a return.
  • Hutchison told SportCasting that Welbeck could mirror Jonny Evans’ mentoring role on a potential Old Trafford comeback.
  • Welbeck has six Premier League goals in 11 games for Brighton this season after previously making over 140 senior appearances for United.
  • Local reporting says there are no concrete signs United are preparing a move, though transfer chatter is increasing ahead of January.
