"Matthijs de Ligt is their latest concern after he missed the 1-1 draw against West Ham and the 4-1 win at Wolves. That was despite manager Ruben Amorim saying that the Dutchman only had a small thing that prevented him from facing the Irons last Thursday. The victory at Molineux lifted United up to sixth in the Premier League table, one point off the top four."
"The Dutchman was at the heart of the defence in the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace, but did not feature in either matchday squad against West Ham or Wolves. "I don't know, sometimes you have an idea then you have to see day by day, Amorim said post-match. I'm not going to say when he is coming back." Potential return date: December 13 2025 vs Bournemouth (H)"
"Summer signing Sesko is still a couple of weeks away from returning to the first-team fold. The Slovenian injured his knee off the bench in the 2-2 draw at Tottenham last month, and he did not join up with his country in the last international window. It is believed that the forward will be back in two weeks' time, and that will be a welcome boost considering the departures of Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo for the Africa Cup of Nations."
Three Manchester United players face fitness doubts: Matthijs de Ligt, Sesko, and Maguire. De Ligt missed the 1-1 draw with West Ham and the 4-1 win at Wolves after a small issue that prevented him from facing West Ham; he had been central in the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace but did not make the matchday squads against West Ham or Wolves. De Ligt's potential return date is December 13, 2025, versus Bournemouth. Sesko injured his knee as a substitute in the 2-2 draw at Tottenham and missed the international window; he is expected back in about two weeks with a potential return on December 20, 2025, at Aston Villa. Maguire suffered a hamstring injury at Tottenham and shares the same recovery timeline as Sesko, with a similar potential return date.
