Overview
- Benjamin Sesko sustained a knee injury in the 2-2 draw at Tottenham and is reported to be out for up to a month.
- Reports suggest Manchester United could curb January activity and are likely to keep Joshua Zirkzee to preserve senior cover.
- Zirkzee has yet to start this season and has only 82 Premier League minutes across four substitute appearances.
- The Africa Cup of Nations is set to remove further attacking options in December and January, increasing pressure on existing forwards.
- Former striker Dwight Yorke has urged Ruben Amorim to hand opportunities to academy forward Chido Obi, who has featured previously for the first team and is playing for the under-23s this season.
