According to the "Manchester Evening News", Manchester United will face Everton on Monday night local time. Main forward Benjamin Sheshko did not appear in the pre-match training.
The Slovenian forward limped off against Tottenham Hotspur before the international break, leaving the Red Devils with ten men for the remainder of the game. The striker walked straight into the tunnel, with Ruben Amorim hinting that if his injury becomes a long-term problem, he may need to delve into the transfer market. The exact situation remains to be seen, but Sheshko did not participate in Friday morning's training. Harry Maguire and Kobe Menu were also absent from training.
Since Sheszko made his official debut for Manchester United, Amorim has either chosen to start him or use a striker-less formation - the latter has been used in games against Liverpool and Tottenham. If Sheszko is absent, the Red Devils can use Joshua Zirkzee, but the Dutch forward has only played 5 times for a total of 90 minutes so far this season.
The more likely option is that Manchester United continues the starting system against Tottenham. This means Amad is likely to partner Brian Mbeumo, with Matheus Cunha leading the line as a false nine.
Another option is for Mason Mount to return to the starting lineup. He impressed as a substitute against Tottenham and provided two key passes for Sheshko in the draw.
It is reported that Amorim will further explain the details of Sheshko’s injury at the pre-match press conference.
