Overview
- Manchester United are unbeaten in five Premier League matches and sit seventh after consecutive 2-2 draws with Nottingham Forest and Tottenham halted a brief winning surge.
- Benjamin Sesko suffered a knock against Tottenham and was ruled unavailable for Slovenia by United’s medical staff, drawing criticism from coach Matjaz Kek before the Slovenian FA confirmed it received full documentation and that he cannot train.
- Sesko, a summer signing for about £74m, has two goals in 12 appearances for United and will miss this international window, extending his year-long wait for a Slovenia goal.
- Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink told Sky Sports News he does not see improvement under Ruben Amorim, citing a lack of goals, defensive gains or trophies.
- Reports indicate INEOS continues to back Amorim, while a small core of consistent starters — Luke Shaw, Matthijs de Ligt, Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo — has provided stability during the recent upturn.
