Another Setback for United’s Big-Money Forward
Benjamin Sesko sat out Manchester United‘s 1-1 draw at Fulham on September 20 with a recurring shin problem, having also missed the midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Brighton. The issue has now cost him back-to-back appearances at a point in the season when United can least afford to be without attacking options.
With Matheus Cunha forced to lead the line at Craven Cottage before scoring a late equaliser, the recurring nature of Sesko’s shin complaint is reportedly a growing concern behind the scenes, with no firm return date confirmed publicly.
United currently sit 12th in the Premier League table, and further absences up front would add pressure on a squad already having lost half of its competitive matches so far this season.
Guirassy Emerges as a Reported Target
Reports link United with a possible move for Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy, seen as cover and competition up front given the ongoing uncertainty over Sesko’s fitness. Any deal would likely be assessed for the next available transfer window rather than as an immediate fix.
Guirassy has established himself as one of the Bundesliga’s most reliable finishers over the past two seasons, and would represent a proven, ready-made option if United decide their current forward line needs reinforcing.
