Manchester United are facing a worrying fitness situation ahead of Saturday’s Premier League showdown with Tottenham at Old Trafford, with a large number of first-team players either injured, carrying knocks or requiring late assessments. 😰🔴
Benjamin Šeško, Patrick Dorgu, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui are among the biggest concerns. Šeško is still struggling with a recurring shin problem, while Dorgu picked up a hamstring issue during Denmark duty and Mazraoui suffered a back problem while representing Morocco. Amad, meanwhile, has yet to feature for United this season because of his injury.
There are also question marks surrounding Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford after both withdrew from England duty with issues. Both are currently viewed as possible options for Tottenham, but United will need further assessments before their availability is confirmed.
Bruno Fernandes has also had a fitness concern after playing through pain for United before the international break, while Carlos Baleba’s availability remains another issue for Michael Carrick to monitor.
Matthijs de Ligt is back in training after his long-term back problem but is not yet considered a guaranteed option for Saturday. Manuel Ugarte and Tom Heaton remain unavailable.
The timing could hardly be worse for Carrick. United have collected only five points from their opening five Premier League matches and now face a Tottenham side also desperate for a result.
The Red Devils desperately need their key players back because this is not just another fixture — it could be a huge moment for Carrick and his squad. 🔥👀
United’s medical team now faces a race against time to get as many players as possible ready for Saturday’s 5:30pm kick-off.
The injury list is growing… and Carrick needs answers fast. 🚨🔴
