Manchester United, Benjamin Šeško and Michael Carrick
28 October 2026
Manchester United striker Benjamin Šeško is expected to remain sidelined until at least January because of a shin injury. The 23-year-old has not played since September and is United’s only specialist centre-forward.
Multiple medical tests have identified an impact-related shin problem rather than shin splints. Šeško has struggled with the issue since last season and missed pre-season preparations. His prolonged absence leaves Carrick without a recognised number nine during a difficult period and could influence United’s January transfer plans.
Why It Matters
United face months without their main striker while struggling near the bottom of the league.
