Man Utd go do big January signing if Sesko wahala continue

Ruben Amorim talk say Manchester United fit solve one wahala wey show after Saturday 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

Bryan Mbeumo put Red Devils ahead 1-0 after 32 minutes, and score remain so until Mathys Tel and Richarlison score for 84th and 91st minutes, wey almost make United suffer fourth loss for Premier League.

But Matthijs de Ligt score for sixth minute of stoppage time to save draw for Manchester giants, extend unbeaten run to five games.

Even tho dem avoid loss again, Red Devils shake small when Benjamin Sesko, wey come before 60th minute, play only half hour before dem withdraw am due to knee injury.

Amorim on Sesko injury and January moves

Amorim talk after match show say him no sure how serious Sesko injury be. E talk, “We have to check. He get something for knee, make we see. I no get idea. Na knee, we no sabi.”

Amorim sabi say 2025 Africa Cup of Nations go from December to January 2026, and club fit lose Bryan Mbeumo, Amad and Noussair Mazraoui for weeks to month. So, if Sesko wahala continue, club fit move for January window.

Him talk, “We have to check everything, we have to check wetin happen with Ben. Of course, we go get problem [with AFCON], but we already sabi. You fit prepare for summer, but many players for summer no go play because na one game per week. So, to manage that situation go hard. But make we see when window open, if we fit improve team and try prepare something. Until then, we go take chance.”

How Sesko dey do for Man Utd?

Temporary or permanent addition during Cup of Nations fit important for Red Devils, especially as dem dey try do better this season after 15th place last season. Sesko absence if e long fit matter.

Sesko don score only two Premier League goals for 11 appearances since him transfer from RB Leipzig for initial £66.3m, wey fit reach £73.7m with add-ons. E don try 18 shots, but na only 2.36 expected goals (xG), mean say many low-percentage efforts.

Even tho numbers no too sweet, Sesko still 22 years old and get plenty potential. Red Devils sabi am when dem spend money for summer.

Considering lack of confidence for options like Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund loan to Napoli, to pursue striker for winter transfer fit make sense for Red Devils.
