Karim Adeyemi tipped as ideal January fix for United’s AFCON exodus

December 2025

Manchester United have been urged to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi in January to cover their right flank when Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo leave for Africa Cup of Nations duty. Dietmar Hamann claims Adeyemi’s dynamic profile is a strong fit for both the Premier League and Ruben Amorim’s game model. Hamann says Adeyemi is Dortmund’s most consistent attacking outlet and would add much needed pace and direct running to United’s front line, easing the impact of AFCON absences. He also accepts that convincing Dortmund to sell a key player in mid season will be difficult, given his importance there.

Souness branded United “still average”, insisting only Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo rise above the rest after another chaotic 4-4 under Amorim. He argued that, despite attacking flashes and goals, the wider squad simply lacks the consistent quality needed for a top-four push. Pointing to United’s failure to manage key moments and protect multiple leads, Souness framed the Bournemouth game as a snapshot of deeper structural issues. He claimed Champions League qualification looks unrealistic without major upgrades, questioning whether Amorim has the tools to transform the squad.

Benjamin Sesko’s comeback from a knee injury has been pushed back after a bout of food poisoning, extending his absence just as Manchester United prepare to lose Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo to AFCON and leaving Amorim short of forwards for a crucial winter stretch. Signed for £74m from RB Leipzig, Sesko has been sidelined since a Tottenham clash on November 8. His agent says rehab is on track and the striker is impatient to return, but medical staff and Amorim will decide timing while relying on Joshua Zirkzee and Matheus Cunha to cover.

Ruben Amorim says a blunt half time message, rather than tactical tweaks, sparked Manchester United’s 4-1 win at Wolves after Jean Ricner Bellegarde cancelled out Bruno Fernandes’ opener and briefly threatened another setback against the Premier League’s bottom club. Amorim told his players at the interval that domination meant nothing without ruthless finishing, urged them to cut out sloppy passing that was gifting Wolves belief and later played down the importance of climbing to sixth while focusing on improving performances and managing looming AFCON absences.

Representative Elvis Basanovic praised coach Ruben Amorim’s charisma and long term project, stressing that Sesko needs time on the pitch with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to build attacking automatisms and believes patience will turn United into genuine Premier League title contenders.

Andre Onana has suffered another major setback after being omitted from Cameroon’s 28-man Africa Cup of Nations squad, despite coach Rigobert Song selecting four goalkeepers, capping a brutal spell in which he lost the Manchester United number one jersey and moved on loan to Trabzonspor. Eyebrows were raised when the Indomitable Lions’ roster dropped without his name, while fellow Cameroonians Bryan Mbeumo and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou were included, deepening questions over Onana’s international future after previous disputes and adding further uncertainty to a club career already drifting.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim plans talks with the federations of Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Morocco to delay AFCON call-ups for Mbeumo, Amad and Mazraoui so he can keep them deeper into December during a packed Premier League and FA Cup run. AFCON rules allow nations to demand players two weeks before their first group games, which could remove the trio around the Wolves match on 8 December, but United are pushing for release after Bournemouth on 15 December to limit the number of fixtures they miss.

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.
