Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko did not travel with the squad to London yesterday afternoon, according to local reports. The Red Devils are set to face Fulham today at 6:30 PM Bulgarian time, but will be without their Slovenian forward. The reasons for his absence are currently unclear. Sesko played 65 minutes in the midweek 3-2 loss to Brighton, showing great effort but limited effectiveness. Manager Michael Carrick prefers a more versatile player leading the attack, often deploying Matheus Cunha or Bryan Mbeumo in that role in the Premier League.
Manchester United has had a sluggish start to the season, recording one win, one draw, and two losses in the league so far. The past week was particularly challenging for Carrick's men, who lost the Manchester derby to Manchester City despite playing with a man advantage for over an hour. Just days later, they squandered a 2-0 lead by the 10th minute, suffering a complete turnaround against Brighton.
