Sesko not in the squad taking on Milan today (Picture: Manchester United via Getty Images) Benjamin Sesko is not in the squad for Manchester United’s final pre-season match against AC Milan this afternoon. The Slovenia international has not played a minute of the pre-season campaign, missing all six games ahead of next weekend’s Premier League opener against Hull City. After a relatively slow start, Sesko shone following Michael Carrick’s arrival at Old Trafford last season, starring in the super-sub role. He scored his 12th goal of the season in the victory over Liverpool in May but it proved to be his last contribution for the season.

The former RB Leipzig star aggravated a shin injury in that game, taking a nasty tumble down the infamous Old Trafford dip around the pitch, crashing into the advertising boards. At the time, it wasn’t thought to have been a serious issue. But almost four months later, he is still to return having also had a whole summer off to recover. In addition to Sesko, Mason Mount is also not involved against Milan in Poland after coming off in the 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain with a knock. Sesko has trained but not played a minute of pre-season (Picture: Manchester United via Getty Images) Will Sesko be fit for Man Utd’s season opener against Hull? Even if passed fit, it seems unlikely Sesko will be deemed ready to lead the line for United at the MKM Stadium against Hull next Saturday afternoon. The striker has not played since that game against Liverpool in May. Carrick often favoured the 23-year-old coming off the bench last season and he may have to settle for that role again with no pre-season under his belt. Bryan Mbeumo has led the line this summer and has looked fit, sharp and effective in that role through the middle. The Cameroon international seems the leading contender to start up top next weekend.

Marcus Rashford could make his Man Utd comeback today (Photo Getty) Marcus Rashford is expected to make his first appearance for Manchester United in over 18 months when they play AC Milan in their final pre-season friendly today. Rashford’s career at Old Trafford appeared to be over after he was axed from the first-team by Ruben Amorim in December 2025, before being shipped off on loan to Aston Villa and Barcelona. Surprisingly, the Spanish champions chose not to trigger the buy-out option in his contract and with no other top European club looking to sign him, the forward has returned to his boyhood club. Amorim’s replacement Michael Carrick has decided to give the England international a second chance and barring any late drama in the transfer window, he will be playing in Manchester again this season. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Rashford has only just returned to training after helping the Three Lions finish third at the World Cup and, ironically, his first game back for United will be against a side managed by Amorim. Despite being by far the best Carrington academy graduate of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, many at the time approved of the decision to let Rashford go amid concerns over his form and attitude off the pitch. Such concerns do not exist anymore it seems, as the Daily Mail report that the 29-year-old’s return has been ‘extremely well received’ by the rest of the Red Devils squad. Radhford is set for an awkward reunion with Ruben Amorim when Man Utd play AC Milan (Photo: Getty) The players are said to be impressed with their teammate’s work ethic on the training ground, a far cry from the player Amorim had made him out to be. Moreover, £35million summer signing Youri Tielemans has publicly expressed his delight with Rashford after playing alongside him during the loan spell at Aston Villa last year. ‘He’s got amazing qualities. And I mean, his touch, his acceleration, his finishing, you know, his qualities on the ball. But then I think what surprised me most with him was his commitment,’ the midfielder told Rio Ferdinand Presents. Youri Tielemans has reunited with Rashford after playing together at Aston Villa (Photo: Getty) ‘You know, there was such a big thing made out of him that he wasn’t committed or wasn’t in it for the right reasons or whatever. And you see the player coming in and it’s completely opposite from what you hear. ‘He was committed. He was doing the work. He was positive with everyone. You know, he was just a normal guy, you know. ‘And then he brings his qualities to the team and he just plays. And you can see in that PSG double leg how good he was and how he added at the time to the team. ‘And yeah, we [Villa] nearly got over the line against PSG and then won it. So, yeah, we were very happy with him.’ It has been confirmed Rashford will wear No.14 after his prized No.10 shirt was handed to Matheus Cunha last summer. Following the Milan friendly, United kick-off their season with a trip to newly promoted Hull City next Saturday. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
