"The Slovenian had already wasted a couple of opportunities when he suffered an injury three minutes from time chasing down a long ball. It was immediately obvious Sesko could not continue, and as United had already used all five substitutes they had to complete the game, which stood at 1-1, with 10 men. Head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed afterwards Sesko had sustained a knee injury, but did not know how serious it was."
"However, in connection to a question about the January transfer window, Amorim said "because it's the knee you never know" - the inference being it might be. That would be a major issue, particularly as United will lose two of their main offensive threats - Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo - to the Africa Cup of Nations in December. "We have to check, it's something in his knee," said Amorim."
Tottenham and Manchester United drew 2-2 in a Premier League lunchtime match that produced late drama and injury concerns. Benjamin Sesko was substituted on after 58 minutes but suffered a knee injury three minutes from time while chasing a long ball, forcing United to finish with 10 men after all five substitutes had been used. Ruben Amorim confirmed the knee issue and warned of uncertainty over its severity, noting transfer-window implications. United risk losing attacking options with Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo due to the Africa Cup of Nations. Tottenham briefly believed they had a stoppage-time winner before United recovered to level the score.
