Overview
- Sesko, who missed much of pre-season after a shin problem first aggravated on 3 May, said the injury is fully healed and 'perfect' following a managed recovery.
- Manchester United reintroduced him cautiously with three substitute appearances before giving him a belated first start this season.
- He scored when starting in Thursday's 4-0 Champions League win over Sabah, which coaches and the player view as evidence his patient return has worked.
- Club sources and reports say his extended layoff changed his physique and that staff have worked with him to reduce body fat and regain sharp movement for match play.
- Sesko joined United from RB Leipzig in 2025 and scored 12 goals in his first season, and his restored availability alters selection choices for high-profile matches such as the Manchester derby.
