The centre-forward has sustained a knee injury.

According to Benjamin Sesko’s agent, Manchester United intend to fight for the Premier League title in 2027–2028. Additionally, he gave significant information regarding the Slovenian forward’s comeback from a knee ailment that has kept him out of action since early November.

Sesko joined United for a £73.62m fee in August, but he hasn’t played in a month since hobbling off against Spurs in a 2-2 draw.

United defeated Wolves, a bottom-of-the-table team, 4-1 on Monday night to move up to sixth place in the Premier League standings.

Although they are tied for points with fifth-place Chelsea and knowing a top-five finish would almost guarantee Champions League qualifying, the United management is aiming for a top-four finish.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a co-owner of United, hopes to win the championship by 2028, the year of the team’s 150th anniversary.

Elvis Basanovic, Sesko’s agent, is also certain that Amorim will supervise development before a planned title attempt.

Then, Basanovic discussed Sesko’s injury recovery and hinted that the forward would return to the field sooner rather than later to contribute to the club’s ambitious goals.

“He can’t wait to get back on the pitch. He’s missing matches, he’s a little impatient and we hope that he will return soon, to be where he feels best again.”

“It’s hard to say exactly [when he will return], it will ultimately be decided by the medical service and the coach. I think we will see him on the pitch very soon. Maybe sooner than it seems at the moment.”

The Slovenian international was United’s fourth-choice target up front after Liam Delap chose to go with Chelsea, Viktor Gyokeres preferred Arsenal, and Aston Villa would not let go of Ollie Watkins.
