Carrick left sweating over injury status of one of his main men who’s ‘in some pain’ ahead of Sunderland trip – Luckhurst

While he was able to enjoy the full-time celebrations with his teammates, it is said that he was left ‘in some pain’ following the injury he sustained in the first half, according to Samuel Luckhurst.

How did Sesko sustain his injury?

Sesko had been barged off the Old Trafford pitch by Ibrahima Konate, which is always a major risk for any player due to the dip between the turf and the advertising boards.

In doing so, the youngster re-aggravated an existing issue with his shin, and he was subsequently spotted ‘limping heavily’ when he made his way to the bench to watch on for the second half.

Referee Darren England opted against awarding a free-kick, much to Carrick and the supporters’ dismay, and Konate faced no disciplinary action for the shove.

No player has scored more goals since Ruben Amorim was dismissed in January than Sesko, so it goes without saying that he’d be a huge miss if he were unable to feature against Sunderland this weekend.

Sesko’s league record under Carrick

Even though United’s sole goal of qualifying for the Champions League is now fulfilled, Carrick and his men will be keen to send a message to the rest of the division by maintaining their stellar form in the remaining three fixtures.
