Man Utd expect Mbeumo and Sesko to be fit for Leeds
[Getty Images] Manchester United are confident forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko will be fit for the Premier League encounter with Leeds on 13 April, despite the pair having to pull out of international duty. Mbeumo was due to feature for Cameroon in friendlies against Australia and China, while Sesko had been called up by Slovenia for their encounters with Hungary and Montenegro. Neither Cameroon nor Slovenia have qualified for this summer's World Cup.
Mbeumo was replaced 19 minutes from the end of United's 2-2 draw at Bournemouth on Friday, while the club say Sesko has been dealing with "an issue" they have been "carefully managing" over recent weeks. United have refused to expand on the precise nature of the problems. However, club sources are adamant neither is serious and both players are expected to be available to face Leeds as Michael Carrick's side look for the 13 points from seven remaining games that would be enough to secure Champions League qualification.
Defender Noussair Mazraoui, who missed the Bournemouth game because of illness, has joined up with Morocco for their matches against Ecuador and Paraguay, which are being played in Madrid and Lens respectively.
