"With United set to lose forwards Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo to Africa Cup of Nations duty with Ivory Coast and Cameroon respectively next month -- Morocco defender Noussair Mazraoui will also play in the tournament -- Amorim admitted that the club could be forced to add to the squad in January, especially if Sesko is sidelined. "We have to check everything," Amorim said."
""We have to check what's happened with Ben, but of course we are going to have a problem there [with AFCON players] -- we already knew that, so you can then prepare for that in the summer. "Managing that situation is going to be hard, but let's see when the window is open, if we can improve the team and trying to repair something that happened. We have to take the chance.""
Benjamin Sesko limped out of a 2-2 draw after coming on as a 58th-minute substitute and leaving in the 88th minute following a challenge. The Slovenia international was able to walk off after treatment but sustained a knee issue that requires further checks and may be serious. United faces additional forward absences as Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo head to the Africa Cup of Nations and Noussair Mazraoui will also be at the tournament. The club may need to add reinforcements in the January window if Sesko is sidelined and AFCON call-ups reduce options. United remain in Champions League contention.
