There is a huge wave of injuries at Manchester United. Erik ten Hag lost a number of important players, even though a tough match is coming soon. Hospitals are overcrowded, making it a conundrum for ManUtd managers.
Harry Maguire, Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount, Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw are all injured. Next weekend the club will play against Nottingham Forest, where they will hope to make up for the loss against Spurs. Ten Hag was clear about the number of injuries: “It’s normal in top-flight football these days. You have to go to extremes, then injuries are the consequence.”

Perhaps the most annoying thing for fans is that top recruit Hojlund is not yet fit. “He won’t be there tomorrow, but he’s almost back. “Today he returned to team training and the hope is that he can participate fully next week,” said the coach. Shaw and Mount will be away for a while, Ten Hag predicts. He wouldn’t say what exactly it was.
Malacia will also not play for a while. “It will take a few weeks. We have a solution, you think about this scenario before the season starts. You hope you can prevent it, but if it happens you have to be ready for it.”
