Benjamin Sesko sidelined until January with shin injury for Man Utd
Summary

Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko will be out until at least January due to a shin injury confirmed by manager Michael Carrick. Sesko has not played since the team's Carabao Cup exit on September 16 and missed pre-season with a similar issue. While he avoided surgery, an extended rest period is necessary for recovery. Carrick labeled Sesko's absence as a significant setback, particularly after United's poor performance in their recent 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth. The manager's future remains uncertain amid ongoing discussions by club officials.
