Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Man Utd will consider signing a striker if Benjamin Sesko\u2019s injury is worse than first feared.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils rescued a point in the dying moments of a 2-2 draw against Tottenham<\/a> over the weekend with Matthijs de Ligt\u2019s header maintaining their five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Sesko missed a couple of good chances to score for Man Utd<\/a> earlier in the match, while the Slovenia international \u2013 who has only scored two goals this season \u2013 saw his afternoon cut short as he was taken off with an injury late on.<\/p>\n Ruben Amorim hinted after the match that Man Utd could have to look at strengthening their forward line in the winter window as he pointed to Sesko\u2019s injury and Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo leaving for AFCON.<\/p>\n Amorim told reporters:\u00a0\u201cWe have to check everything, we have to check what\u2019s happened with Ben.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course we are going to have a problem there (AFCON), but we already knew, you can prepare in summer, but then you have a lot of players who are not going to play because it\u2019s one game a week, so the manage of that situation is going to be hard, so let\u2019s see when the window is open if we can improve the team and trying to repair something that happened. Until then we have to take the chance. We\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Ruben Amorim authority rising on one-year anniversary at Man Utd<\/a><\/p>\n But Romano reckons it could be unlikely that Man Utd sign a new striker if Sesko is only out for a short period of time.<\/p>\n Romano said on his YouTube channel<\/a>: \u201cWhile I\u2019m recording this video, it\u2019s 2:30pm in England, but still no official statement from Manchester United on the injury of Benjamin Sesko.<\/p>\n \u201cMy information, guys, is that internally at Man United, they feel that is not going to be a super long injury, so not six, seven, eight months, not that kind of injury. That\u2019s the feeling of Manchester United. It\u2019s going to take some time, of course, he\u2019s not going to be not going to be ready tomorrow morning, but not going to be a super long injury.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd that\u2019s obviously an important news, an important impact. Also Manchester United strategies, because Ruben Amorim after the game, they had a draw against Tottenham and Ruben Amorim said: \u2018Let\u2019s see also the injury of Sesko We have some players going for AFCON. And then there is the injury of Sesko that might impact the general transfer window for Man United.<\/p>\n \u201cWell,\u00a0 in case of long injury, maybe season over, in that case, Man United had to consider something for the general transfer window. Now, the expectation, according to my information internally, Man United feel that the injury is not super serious, it\u2019s not going to be super long. It\u2019s going to take some time again, it\u2019s not a short one, but not gonna take super long, and that\u2019s important.<\/p>\n \u201cSo let\u2019s wait for Manchester United statement, but that\u2019s the feeling.<\/p>\n MORE ON MAN UTD FROM F365: \u201cJust one for a few questions linked to this situation. First questions in England, some reports of maybe Rasmus Hojland can come back to Man United, from Napoli loan to cover the Sesko injury\u2026no Rasmus Hojland doesn\u2019t have any recall clause to his contract at Napoli with Manchester United for the loan.<\/p>\n \u201cSo there is no recall clause. And also, Hojland feels as a Napoli player, not as a Man United player on loan. Hojland, 100% feels as a Napoli player. Napoli have all the intentions to sign Hojland on a permanent transfer from Man United, so with an obligation to buy there is an obligation to buy clause.<\/p>\n \u201cMan United expect to receive a 50 million euros for Hojland, and they\u2019re not planning to have the player back at the club. So at the moment, the situation is completely quiet about that, nothing expected in terms of movements for Rasmus Hojland, apart from what happens with Benjamin Sesko.\u201d<\/p>\n
