Manchester United's new striker Benjamin Sesko faces a long spell out with a shin problem, and the Red Devils must find goals elsewhere.
Manchester United have been hit with a blow up front. Striker Benjamin Sesko is expected to miss action until at least January because of a shin injury.
The Slovenian forward arrived at Old Trafford as one of the club's key attacking signings, and United were counting on his size, pace and finishing to sharpen their frontline. Losing him for such a stretch of the Premier League calendar leaves a clear gap in the squad.
With the fixture list packed through the winter months, United now have to lean on their remaining attackers and rethink how they create and convert chances. Every league point matters in the race for the top four, so the pressure on the rest of the forward line only grows.
The timeline suggests a return in the new year, though recovery from this type of injury can shift. For now, the focus shifts to managing the workload of the other forwards and keeping the team in the hunt while Sesko recovers.
