'We are really concerned' - Amorim gives worrying injury update on Manchester United star

An upbeat Ruben Amorim was unable to keep his positive attitude when discussing Benjamin Sesko’s injury with talkSPORT.

The Slovenian was one of a number of Manchester United players who failed to last the 90 minutes in a 2-2 Premier League draw with Tottenham.

But Amorim was more concerned about him than any other when speaking post-match to talkSPORT.

Injury fear

When asked by Sam Matterface about Sesko’s 58th minute withdrawal, he said: “I don’t know, we have to check.

“He was kicking the ball and he touched the ground - we are really concerned about him because we don’t know.”

The Portuguese was keen to stay positive, though, continuing: “I want to finish in a positive way, we are ready to come back.

“When you pass something like last year with a lot of problems with a lot of players you are ready for everything.

“So we are really confident that no matter who is available for the next game we will be there with our fans.”

Amorim, who is often very critical of his team and particularly himself, was keen to stay on a high note thanks to Matthijs de Ligt’s equaliser in the sixth minute of stoppage time when it looked like Spurs had won 2-1.

Addressing the positives, he said: “I think we can divide the game and I will start with the positives because I think my players always think I’m negative because I’m always looking for things to improve.

“Everything that happened in the last ten minutes, to manage to score a goal, to understand how we are going to score a goal, get the ball in the final third, win a corner and let’s go score, that thing is massive for us.

“It doesn’t matter what happens, we are not going to lose the game and to have that feeling is really good.

“Then the rest of the game I felt the team really comfortable, but we cannot feel comfortable, we have to kill the game.

“You can feel the environment and the space that we have, we need to have more of that killer instinct to realise the game is there to have the three points.

"But in the end to overcome the situation it was a good point.”
