De Ligt's 96th-Minute Header Saves Point for Manchester United at Spurs

Ruben Amorim faces fresh selection tests with injuries plus impending AFCON absences squeezing his options.

Overview

  • Manchester United drew 2-2 at Tottenham as Bryan Mbeumo's opener was cancelled out by late goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison before Matthijs de Ligt equalised in the 96th minute to extend the unbeaten run to five.
  • Benjamin Sesko limped off after coming on and United finished with 10 men; Amorim said the club will assess the issue in the coming days.
  • Harry Maguire suffered a hamstring concern and Casemiro was also withdrawn, while Kobbie Mainoo missed out with a minor injury.
  • Amorim reiterated he will adjust selection for both the short and long term despite recent continuity and results.
  • Mbeumo’s scoring form remains a positive, though expected AFCON call-ups for him and Amad Diallo will test depth next month, and Jack Fletcher’s inclusion preserved United’s academy-player matchday streak (reported as the 4,333rd consecutive game).
