Man United Await MRI on Sesko Knee Injury as January Striker Plans Come Into Focus

An MRI is pending as United weigh alternatives, with Rasmus Hojlund unavailable for a January recall from Napoli.

Overview

  • Rúben Amorim said Benjamin Sesko has “something in his knee” after the 2-2 draw at Tottenham and that the club needs scans to determine severity.
  • Slovenian outlet Sportklub reported initial checks were not worrying, though a definitive diagnosis awaits further evaluation, including an MRI.
  • Footage shared on social media showed Sesko limping as he left the stadium, but Manchester United have not issued a formal prognosis.
  • Reports from the Manchester Evening News and Fabrizio Romano indicate Hojlund’s Napoli loan has an option that could become an obligation and no recall clause for January.
  • Amorim is open to January attacking additions as injuries to Harry Maguire and Casemiro and AFCON absences compress options, with strikerless setups and internal cover under review.
