Forward Benjamin Sesko has somewhat eased the concerns of Manchester United's management regarding the injury he sustained in the draw against Tottenham.
According to Slovenia's Sportklub, initial examinations revealed that Benjamin Sesko's injury is not serious, and the Manchester United striker will not need to be sidelined for a long period. However, the 1.95-meter tall player will undergo an MRI scan in the coming days to better determine the extent of the knee damage. This is a positive sign for coach Ruben Amorim, who had feared his player might be facing a serious problem.
Earlier, Sesko was injured during the thrilling 2-2 draw between Tottenham and Manchester United. The 2003-born star came on in the 58th minute, created several dangerous chances, but had to leave the pitch in the final minutes following a heavy collision with Micky van de Ven. This incident caused considerable worry among "Red Devils" fans, especially as the 21-year-old is gradually establishing his place at Old Trafford despite only scoring two goals in 12 appearances.
Coach Ruben Amorim commented after the match: “I cannot confirm anything yet, because knee injuries are hard to predict. I am worried about Ben, as we need him to strengthen the team. The whole squad will undergo thorough checks to determine exactly what happened.”
The North London match delivered an intense back-and-forth battle. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring for Manchester United in the 32nd minute with a precise header, but Tottenham pushed back strongly late in the game with two goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison near the end of the second half, seemingly securing a comeback. However, in the final stoppage time, Matthijs de Ligt headed in an equalizer from a corner kick, allowing the Old Trafford side to take away a valuable point and extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to five games.
With the above report, Manchester United can breathe a temporary sigh of relief as Sesko's injury is not too serious. The early return of the Slovenian forward will be crucial, especially since coach Amorim needs more quality options upfront to maintain their Premier League ambitions.
