Red Devils dealt unwelcome injury blows ahead of another busy week

After a promising start to Erik ten Hag’s third season at the club, a run of three games without a victory has piled pressure back onto the Dutchman.

Draws against Crystal Palace and FC Twente were disappointing but Sunday’s 3-0 defeat in the Premier League to Tottenham was branded “disgusting” by Old Trafford legend Gary Neville.

United will no doubt need to turn things around to stop even more speculation in regards to Ten Hag’s future from mounting and to do that, they will need their full squad available.

It is another gruelling week for the Red Devils, who face a trip to FC Porto in the Europa League on Thursday before traveling to high-flying Aston Villa.

With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Manchester United injuries.

Kobbie Mainoo

Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo headed straight down the tunnel on Sunday after his first-half substitution following the red card shown to Bruno Fernandes.

Speaking after the game, Ten Hag said of a potential injury: “I can't say in this moment.

“I have to find out but, of course, when a player is coming off before half-time already, then there are some concerns.”

Potential return date: Unknown

Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw is yet to have featured this season after making his return from a muscle injury during England’s run to the Euro 2024 final before suffering a set-back.

“I think it's probably (before the break) but I can't say I'm 100 per cent sure,” he revealed.

"The plan is just to be back before but as I say I can't say this 100 per cent for sure. It can also be shortly after the break."

Potential return date: October 2024

Mason Mount

Mount also came off during the loss to Spurs after suffering a clash of heads with Radu Dragusin.
