Amorim provides Sesko injury update

Saturday 08 November 2025 16:28

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted he's "concerned" about an injury suffered by striker Benjamin Sesko.

The Slovenian was a second-half substitute in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur, the point sealed by a last-minute Matthijs de Ligt header.

Sesko himself had a great chance to restore our lead at 1-1, following Bryan Mbeumo's first-half opener, but the 22-year-old was challenged by Micky van de Ven just before shooting.

Not long after that, the striker went down injured and had to be withdrawn, and the Reds carried on a man down, Amorim having already made all of his allowed substitutions.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, the United boss addressed the injury concern.

"That [his recent form] is not the biggest concern now," Amorim said. "I'm concerned with an injury, because it is in the knee, and I don't know.

"We need Ben [Sesko] to be a better team. We have to check. He has something in his knee. Let's see."

Unfortunately, Sesko was not alone in leaving the Tottenham Hotspur pitch with an injury concern, with both Harry Maguire and Casemiro joining that list.

The pair were withdrawn in the 72nd minute, for Leny Yoro and Manuel Ugarte respectively, with Maguire in clear discomfort before the change.

Amorim said: "When we have to take out Maguire and Casemiro at the same time, then suffer two goals, then losing Ben, you have to overcome everything."

However, we now enter the November international break, giving the trio an extended period of time for recovery ahead of our next game on 24 November, when we welcome Everton to Old Trafford for a 20:00 GMT kick-off.
