Manchester United are facing a significant setback with reports that striker Benjamin Sesko has been ruled out until 2027, deepening an injury crisis for the club. The news comes as Michael Carrick's side prepares for a Carabao Cup third-round tie against Brighton & Hove Albion.
According to a Yahoo Sports report published on October 28, 2026, the Slovenian forward's extended absence compounds United's selection problems ahead of a busy fixture schedule. The Carabao Cup clash with Brighton represents the next test for a squad already stretched by fitness issues.
Sesko, who joined United in a high-profile transfer, had been expected to play a key role in the team's attacking options this season. His long-term unavailability will force tactical adjustments as the club navigates domestic and European commitments.
