Sesko Ruled Out for Weeks With Knee Injury, Amorim Confirms

The setback spotlights Manchester United’s data-led bet on a £74m long‑term striker tailored to Ruben Amorim’s system.

Overview

  • Ruben Amorim said Benjamin Sesko will miss a few weeks, calling the knee issue not that serious but stressing the need for caution.
  • Sesko was hurt in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham after a challenge from Micky van de Ven, and scans eased fears of a major tear.
  • Amorim indicated he expects Sesko back around the time Bryan Mbeumo departs for the Africa Cup of Nations, though he would not confirm a date.
  • With the 22-year-old sidelined, United face a short-term shortage at centre-forward that may force tactical adjustments.
  • United signed Sesko from RB Leipzig for about £74m after analytics favored his off‑the‑ball runs over Viktor Gyokeres, and he has two goals in 12 appearances so far.
