De Ligt Saves Point for Manchester United at Spurs as Injuries Prompt January Questions

Amorim warns of squad problems, signaling a January review of reinforcements.

Overview

  • Matthijs de Ligt’s 96th‑minute header secured a 2-2 draw at Tottenham and extended United’s unbeaten run to five matches.
  • Benjamin Sesko limped off with a knee issue after coming on, leaving United to finish with ten men; Slovenian reports described an initial check as encouraging, with an MRI scheduled.
  • Casemiro and Harry Maguire were withdrawn with knocks before Spurs’ late goals, and Amorim said the team struggled after both leaders came off.
  • Sky Sports noted a defensive reliance on Casemiro, reporting five of 20 goals conceded this season have come with him on the pitch versus 15 without him.
  • Amorim balanced his “we can win any game” message with a post-match admission of “a lot of problems” and said January moves will be assessed given injuries and AFCON absences for Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui.
