Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has expressed major concern over the fitness of Benjamin Sesko after the striker was forced to miss the Premier League clash with Fulham. The Slovenian forward is struggling with a recurring shin issue that previously plagued his start to life at Old Trafford.
Gary Lineker has questioned Michael Carrick's reluctance to start Benjamin Sesko following Manchester United's frustrating derby defeat to Manchester City. Despite ending last season in fine form and finding the net in recent outings, the 23-year-old striker continues to warm the bench while Matheus Cunha struggles to impress in a false-nine role.
Benjamin Sesko has expressed his immense relief after overcoming a persistent shin injury to make a goalscoring return to the Manchester United starting line-up. The Slovenian forward found the net during the Red Devils' emphatic 4-0 Champions League victory over Sabah, marking his first start of the season with a clinical performance.
Benjamin Sesko described Manchester United's 4-0 victory over Sabah as 'perfect for everyone' after scoring in their Champions League return at Old Trafford. The Slovenian striker hailed the team's dominant performance as ideal preparation for Sunday's Manchester derby.
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has delivered a scathing assessment of Michael Carrick’s current tactical setup, labelling the team "difficult to watch" without a recognised focal point. As the Red Devils prepare for a high-stakes Manchester derby against City, the former midfielder is demanding a major change to the starting XI.
Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko admitted that conceding a stoppage-time equaliser against Everton was painful after his first goal of the season looked to have secured victory. The Slovenian international came off the bench at Hill Dickinson Stadium to head United in front, only for the hosts to snatch a dramatic 2-2 draw in the 96th minute.
Speaking exclusively on the Beast Mode Podcast after winning the PFA Players' Player of the Year award, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has opened up about his unlikely footballing roots. The Portuguese playmaker revealed that he actually began his career operating as a centre-back, before sharing a hilarious training-ground story about testing his sprinting limits against powerful Red Devils team-mate Benjamin Sesko.
With the 2026-27 Premier League campaign about to get underway, GOAL counts down the leading contenders for the Golden Boot, including current holder Erling Haaland.
Benjamin Sesko remains the only out-and-out No.9 on Manchester United’s books, but Michael Owen has told GOAL why he has “doubts” over the Slovenian’s ability to become the “long-term” central striking option at Old Trafford. The 23-year-old frontman played his way into form last season, following a slow start, but Michael Carrick is considered to be in need of further firepower.
Bayern Munich have begun their search for a long-term successor to Harry Kane, shifting their focus towards the Premier League. The German heavyweights are keen to secure a formidable forward capable of eventually filling the massive void that will be left by their prolific goalscorer, sparking fears of a major transfer battle in the near future.
Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko is successfully following a rehabilitation programme for a shin injury that kept him out of their opening pre-season fixtures. The Slovenia international aggravated the issue against Liverpool last season but is on course to return before the new Premier League campaign begins.
Benjamin Sesko has been set a goal target for the 2026-27 campaign that should be “written in his contract” at Manchester United, with Dwight Yorke explaining to GOAL why the Slovenian striker can “fly” for the Red Devils. Michael Carrick needs his leading marksman to do just that if a return to Premier League title contention is to be enjoyed at Old Trafford.
Barcelona have reportedly identified Manchester United's Benjamin Sesko as a potential summer transfer target if they fail to land Julian Alvarez. The Liga champions are desperately seeking a prolific striker to replace the departing Robert Lewandowski, but negotiations with Atletico Madrid over a blockbuster move for Alvarez are proving extremely difficult.
