Carrick blow as Man Utd star who played vs Brighton not seen with squad heading for Fulham game

Manchester United could be without Benjamin Sesko for Sunday’s Premier League game against Fulham.

The Red Devils take on the London club at Craven Cottage tomorrow and there was no sign of Sesko with the Man United squad as they arrived for the train to London this afternoon.

It is safe to say the Slovenian is a doubt for Sunday’s game in a huge blow to Michael Carrick.

The Red Devils manager is desperate to return to winning ways after back-to-back losses in their last two games.

Man United were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday following last weekend’s league defeat to Manchester City.

Sesko featured against the Seagulls before he was taken off in the 66th minute.

The 23-year-old had a game to forget on Wednesday, managing only 23 touches and completing just eight of his 14 attempted passes.

Sesko did not create any chances against the Seagulls, finishing the game with zero shots and losing possession 13 times.

He missed out on a chance to impress Carrick and would not likely have been handed a starting berth tomorrow if he was available for selection.

In some positive news, Man United have been handed a double injury boost as Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw have been included in the travelling squad.

Shaw has missed the last three games across all competitions due to an injury, while De Ligt last played for the Red Devils in November 2025.

The Englishman could feature against Fulham, but it is unclear whether his Dutch counterpart is ready to return to the pitch for competitive football.
