Sesko has had ‘initial tests’ after being forced off against Tottenham with a knee issue

Manchester United hope the knee injury suffered by Benjamin Sesko against Tottenham is not serious, with initial scans showing “encouraging news”.

It was the latest setback for Sesko, who has endured a difficult start to life at Old Trafford.

But reports in Slovenia claim Sesko has already had initial tests on his knee and that they “indicate that the injury is not serious”.

Sportklub say the scans did not show a “worrying condition” but “only an MRI scan will show the full picture”.

The report says Manchester United “remain cautious for now” and that “the final diagnosis will be known after additional examinations”.

Slovenia are likely to provide an update on Sesko in the coming days ahead of their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Kosovo and Sweden.

Manchester United are next in action against Everton at Old Trafford on November 24.

Ruben Amroim said after Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Spurs that he was “concerned” about Sesko.

“I'm concerned with an injury, because it is in the knee and I don't know,” said Amorim. “We need Ben to be a better team. We have to check. He has something in his knee. Let's see.”

Sesko has scored just two goals for Manchester United since his big-money move to Old Trafford in the summer.
