Manchester United have confirmed Benjamin Sesko faces several weeks out with a knee injury suffered in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham, leaving Ruben Amorim short of centre-forward options and raising doubts over whether the £74m striker will regain rhythm before Bryan Mbeumo departs for AFCON. Scans ruled out major ligament damage but Sesko’s setback, after only two goals in 12 games, leaves Joshua Zirkzee as the lone natural nine while United lean on academy options; Amorim also said Harry Maguire is out and Kobbie Mainoo doubtful, compounding selection problems.

Benjamin Sesko’s knee scare against Tottenham has eased after scans showed no major ligament damage, but Manchester United still expect their marquee striker to miss up to a month, leaving Joshua Zirkzee as Ruben Amorim’s only natural centre-forward. Dwight Yorke has warned United not to chase short-term stopgaps and instead promote from the under-23s, arguing Amorim should invest minutes in fresh talent rather than repeat past mistakes of panic signings that struggled to cope with Old Trafford’s demands.

Danny Welbeck (Brighton) has been linked with a surprise return to Manchester United, with observers suggesting the in-form 34-year-old could mentor Benjamin Sesko (Manchester United) and bolster a misfiring attack as the young Slovenian battles poor form and a worrying new knee problem. Revitalised under Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton), Welbeck has hit six league goals in 11 games, prompting rumours of a comeback to Old Trafford. Sesko’s latest setback came after a lively cameo against Tottenham, cut short by a knee issue that left Ruben Amorim (Manchester United) concerned and increased pressure to sign a striker.

Amorim benched in-form Šeško for Cunha in a 2–1 win at Liverpool, drawing fan ire pre-match. He said game-state traits and centre-back profiles favored Cunha’s central utility and link play over Šeško’s target habits. Selection prioritized press triggers, hold-up under pressure, and channel rotations to unsettle Liverpool’s pairing. Šeško entered late to exploit fatigue, preserving longer-term confidence while Amorim asserted “gut” plus matchup logic in high-stakes calls.

Manchester United’s misfiring frontline has reignited debate after critics claimed the club should have pursued Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta instead of splashing £73m on Benjamin Sesko. Mateta has four goals in ten games this season, while Sesko has only managed one in seven.
Sam Allardyce blasted United’s recruitment, saying Mateta offers the physicality and consistency the club lacks, contrasting with Sesko’s slow start. With Ruben Amorim under pressure and United sitting 14th, their striking woes have amplified scrutiny on transfer decisions ahead of Sunderland’s visit.

Despite a high-profile move from RB Leipzig, Sesko has yet to score in nearly 300 minutes for Manchester United. His training-ground volley reminiscent of Mark Hughes drew fan buzz, but match statistics show a lack of impact in front of goal. Sesko has only managed five shots and eight touches inside the box in five games, with one effort on target. Teammates praise his finishing in training, but he has struggled to translate it onto the pitch. Pressure mounts for him to justify his summer signing.

Teddy Sheringham has urged Manchester United to appoint Gareth Southgate if Ruben Amorim is sacked, arguing the ex-England boss could “restructure the whole place.” United have just two wins from five games after finishing 15th last season. Despite heavy summer spending on Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo, United sit 11th in the table and crashed out of the Carabao Cup to fourth-tier Grimsby. Sheringham believes Southgate’s leadership and experience make him the steadying figure Old Trafford needs.
