Man Utd face an attacking crisis as Benjamin Sesko is out for three weeks due to a knee injury sustained in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham (November 8).
Manager Ruben Amorim confirmed Sesko will miss the games against Everton, Crystal Palace and West Ham, although he expects the £73m striker to be back when United face Wolves in December. “Sesko is recovering well. It’s not too serious, but we have to be careful,” Amorim said.

In addition to Sesko, Man Utd are likely to lose the trio Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui from December 7 due to their return to the African Cup of Nations. They could be absent for up to six weeks, a period when the team needs points to improve their position.
Amorim admitted he was in danger of being without a striker for the Wolves game. United are trying to convince Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Morocco to let the three players stay for a few more days. “We don’t have a squad that is deep enough. When we have to release someone, we will do it, but we are trying to sort it out with the federations,” he said.
The Red Devils are also certain to be without Harry Maguire for the Everton clash and are still waiting to assess Kobbie Mainoo's return. In defence, Lisandro Martinez has not played since February, but he is getting closer to his return. "Licha is much more ready than two weeks ago. We have to be cautious, but he is very close to returning," Amorim affirmed.
