Carrick explains Sesko's half-time exit

Michael Carrick has revealed Benjamin Sesko's half-time withdrawal in the 3-2 victory over Liverpool was an injury precaution as United secured Champions League qualification.

Manchester United secured their place in next season's Champions League with a 3-2 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford. Matheus Cunha opened the scoring before Sesko doubled the advantage. Liverpool equalized through Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo before Kobbie Mainoo's winner sealed the win.

Speaking after the match, Carrick praised his team's resilience: "We can take a lot from the way the players have played. Qualifying for the Champions League felt off in the distance at one point." He explained the Sesko substitution was "an injury precaution" and highlighted the team's fighting spirit despite conceding two equalizers. ipltable.lol
