Manchester United have suffered a double blow with Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko withdrawing from their national teams. Mbeumo, who left United's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth early, has departed Cameroon's squad as a precaution and will miss friendlies against China and Australia. The forward's early exit against Bournemouth raised immediate concerns about his fitness.

Sesko's withdrawal stems from an ongoing issue that has troubled him for several weeks. The Slovenian international has pulled out of matches against Hungary and Montenegro to focus on recovery, with United prioritizing his fitness for the Premier League run-in. The club hopes Sesko can return to full health to help their push for a strong league finish.

There was some positive news for United, as Noussair Mazraoui recovered from illness in time to join Morocco's squad. Michael Carrick's side, already out of the FA Cup and not competing in Europe, have an extended break before facing Leeds United on April 13. The international break comes at a crucial time for United, who need their key players fit for upcoming fixtures against Chelsea and Brentford.
