Michael Carrick, the interim manager of Manchester United, gave an update on young striker Benjamin Sesko after the player missed Sunday's Premier League game against Fulham. Sesko, 23, had started the previous match against Brighton but did not travel to Fulham due to an ongoing injury. This comes as fans and analysts have increasingly called for Carrick to give Sesko more playing time, as United have struggled in the league, winning only one of their first four games. Sesko had suffered a shin injury late in the previous season, which carried over into the new campaign, affecting his early performances. Carrick did not specify the exact nature of the current issue but mentioned that Sesko felt "a little bit of pain" after the Brighton game and that the club is assessing the situation. The manager expressed cautious optimism, saying, "Hopefully, it's not too bad but we will have to see." With a three-week international break coming up after the Fulham match, it is uncertain whether Sesko will join the Slovenia national team. After the break, United face Tottenham at home on October 10, followed by a crucial Champions League match against Atletico Madrid. These upcoming fixtures will be important for the team's momentum and Carrick's decision on Sesko's role. In positive news for Manchester United, defender Luke Shaw has returned from injury and will start against Fulham. Additionally, £70 million summer signing Carlos Baleba, who has been recovering from an ankle injury, could make his debut from the substitutes' bench. Carrick praised Shaw's return, calling it a boost for the squad, and noted the importance of Baleba's integration into the team, saying, "For him to be part of it is important today."
