Manchester United injury news: Benjamin Sesko update after 'painful collision' as Ruben Amorim waits for ‘diagnosis' on knee

The initial diagnosis on Benjamin Sesko's knee injury is positive, though Manchester United will have to wait for an MRI scan to see the full picture, the latest report has indicated.

Ruben Amorim's unbeaten streak in the dugout was extended to five games after his side rescued a point against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday and drew 2-2 in London.

Though there were some positives to take from the game, the team's overall performance was still concerning, as was the number of injuries they suffered.

Harry Maguire and Casemiro were forced to withdraw, while Sesko was also taken off due to a knee issue, and Amorim expressed concern about the potential severity of the 22-year-old's injury.

However, a report from Slovenian outlet Sportklub has claimed that the striker may have avoided a serious setback, adding that United are still being cautious about his recovery.

Manchester United's attacking depth: Worrying signs ahead of AFCON?

Winger Bryan Mbeumo has arguably been the club's best player this campaign, with his six goals making him the team's leading scorer.

The 26-year-old will leave Old Trafford during the winter when he departs with Cameroon to play at the Africa Cup of Nations, and his absence could prove damaging.

Sesko has struggled to consistently make a positive impact while on the pitch, finding the back of the net twice in 12 matches, and he may find it even more difficult to threaten without service from Mbeumo.

Given Amad Diallo will also depart in the winter, Amorim's options in the forward line will become increasingly limited, with the Portuguese boss likely only being able to choose from Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee.

Man United's attacking problems: Why Ruben Amorim should be concerned

United produced just five shots against Tottenham, with the team's only attempt on target in the second half coming in the 96th minute, when Matthijs de Ligt scored an equaliser from a corner.

The Red Devils have been at their best this season when they have surrendered possession, but the fact they have relied on counter-attacks so much this campaign is alarming.

Spurs managed to limit the number of counters they faced last Saturday, and it is clear that United struggle when they are forced to play through aggressive opponents.

Amorim's side have scored at least two goals in each of their past five games, but they will prove more of a threat if they find ways of creating chances against settled defences.
