Michael Carrick is right not to rush Benjamin Sesko back

United are in a privileged position with one game left to play in the Premier League. Third place is secured, and the team has guaranteed a place in the Champions League.

That gives Michael Carrick a chance to play fringe players and academy prospects against Brighton on Sunday.

However, Carrick has made the right decision with Sesko since he sustained his injury by keeping him out of the team.

Sesko’s preparation for the 2026/27 campaign is already underway as he recovers. The aim should be to hit the ground running at the start of next season.
