Man United 'consider' Calvert-Lewin transfer after Benjamin Sesko injury update

Sesko sidelined until January with shin injury; United exploring January signings including Leeds striker Calvert-Lewin.

Benjamin Sesko will miss at least three months after a shin injury sustained in Manchester United's Carabao Cup match against Brighton on September 16. The club has consulted specialists to determine the best recovery plan, opting for rest rather than surgery—the same approach used when Sesko suffered a similar injury last season.

With United facing the prospect of being without a recognised centre-forward until January, the club's recruitment team is now assessing potential signings for the winter transfer window. Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has emerged as a target, though a deal is considered unlikely given his importance to Leeds and their desire to secure him on a new contract. Calvert-Lewin has scored four goals in eight Premier League appearances this season since joining Leeds on a free transfer from Everton in summer 2025.
