Out vs. Brighton Sesko (lower leg) won't be an option for Sunday's game against Brighton, according to manager Michael Carrick.

Impact Sesko missed the 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest last week due to a shin injury, and he won't be an option for this game as well. The Slovenian forward was a bit inconsistent at times, but all things considered, he enjoyed a decent first year at Old Trafford. He bagged 11 goals across 30 appearances (17 starts) in the Premier League.

Not an option Sunday Sesko (lower leg) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Sesko has been unable to recover from the lower leg issue that had left him doubtful, with manager Michael Carrick confirming he was still not 100 percent and that his situation was not as straightforward as some of his teammates heading into the weekend. The forward had shown no positive signs of being able to train fully in recent days, and Manchester United opted against risking him with their top-four spot largely secured. His availability for the final game of the season will be monitored closely, with the club unwilling to take any unnecessary risks with his fitness at this stage of the season.

Unlikely for Sunday Sesko (lower leg) remains doubtful for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Michael Carrick. "Ben's not as straightforward as Case. He's still not 100 per...

Impact Sesko is looking to be unlikely to feature Sunday as the club faces Forest, as the forward is still yet to train and has not received a very positive update. This will leave his chances of returning slim, as the club will not want to risk him while already having third place pretty much secured. Even if he were to feature, it would likely be in a minor role from the bench.

Misses call Saturday Sesko (shin) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Sunderland.

Impact Sesko has been unable to recover from the shin injury that forced him off at halftime of Sunday's win over Liverpool, leaving Manchester United without one of their most important attacking contributors for the trip to Sunderland. The Slovenian striker had opened the scoring before the early exit and has netted 10 goals across all competitions since the new year, making his absence a significant concern for manager Carrick's side. Bryan Mbeumo is expected to slide into the striker role in his place, although it is Joshua Zirkzee getting the nod against the Black Cats Saturday. Sesko's availability for the remaining fixtures of the campaign will be monitored closely.

Impact Sesko had opened the scoring before the shin issue forced his early exit, adding to what had already been a sore area heading into the fixture. The Slovenian striker has been one of Manchester United's most important attacking contributors since the new year, netting 10 goals across all competitions during that stretch, making his potential absence a significant concern. Manager Michael Carrick was not directly asked about Sesko's status but indicated he would look to give minutes to players who have not featured regularly in the final three matches of the campaign. Bryan Mbeumo remains a strong candidate to slide into the striker role should Sesko be unable to go Saturday.

Impact Sesko fired home the second goal in Sunday's win against Liverpool before a shin issue forced him off at halftime, and the club will evaluate the extent of the setback over the next few days before deciding on his availability moving forward. The knock to an already sore area raises concern for Manchester United given how crucial the Slovenian striker has been up top, especially after netting 10 goals across all competitions since the new year. If he's sidelined for any stretch, Bryan Mbeumo is a strong candidate to slide into the striker role until he's back.

Back on scoresheet Sesko scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 2-1 victory versus Brentford.

Impact Sesko didn't see many opportunities Monday but did well with his one shot, scoring and eventually winning the match for his club. This brings the forward to double-digit goals this season, also adding an assist. However, with two straight games only earning one shot, he will need to find more opportunities to continue the second-half success he has found this campaign.

Struggles Monday Sesko generated three shots (three on goal) in Monday's 2-1 loss against Leeds United.

Impact Sesko just couldn't find his finishing touch during Monday's loss. He took three shots and put all three of them on goal, but it wasn't enough to make a real difference in the match. Sesko just couldn't beat Karl Darlow, and was left frustrated. The volume and accuracy are nice, but he will need to be more efficient to close the campaign.
