Hit in the knee, Benjamin Sesko was forced to leave the field during the draw between Manchester United and Tottenham on Saturday (2-2), an injury which could push the Red Devils to look for a new striker during the January transfer window. Although the situation could suggest a return of Rasmus Hojlund from his loan to Naples, the Mancunian club does not in fact have the possibility of recalling him.
According to specialist journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Italian team has a purchase option of more than 43 million euros, which could become obligatory in the event of qualification for the Champions League. This prevents United from repatriating the 22-year-old Danish striker, author of four goals in nine Serie A matches. Joshua Zirkzee, who remains on the bench, does not seem to feature in Ruben Amorim’s plans, and a new recruit could well be the solution chosen by Manchester United to strengthen its attack, especially with the future absence of several internationals who left for the African Cup of Nations (Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo).
