Manchester United are confident that Benjamin Sesko avoided a major injury when he limped off against Tottenham. The £73m striker came off in Saturday’s 2-2 draw, leaving United to complete the game with 10 men and giving them a concern he faced a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Manchester United hope the knee injury suffered by Benjamin Sesko against Tottenham is not serious, with initial scans showing “encouraging news”.

"We have to check. He had something in his knee, let's see," the United manager said.

Manchester United (eighth) and Tottenham Hotspur (sixth) are both in the top half of the table, and they square off in the Premier League on Saturday.

Ruben Amorim accepted the reality that this was a game Manchester United should have won, and even the adrenalin rush of their 96th-minute equaliser could not disguise some familiar vulnerabilities.
