An damage disaster has punctured the balloon of any early-season optimism that Manchester United followers had.
The membership is within the backside half of the desk and has already misplaced two video games out of 4.
An enormous purpose why is that barring Andre Onana, Erik ten Hag hasn’t been in a position to commonly subject his new signings as a result of damage points.
One such participant may very well be set to return quickly in an enormous enhance to the squad.

The fixture, United’s first within the UEFA Champions League, is scheduled for September 20, giving Mount 10 extra days to ramp up his preparations.
He has been dominated out of motion for the final month or so as a result of a hamstring damage. The preliminary prognosis of the damage was trying unhealthy however follow-up scans of the identical have returned optimistic outcomes.
Erik ten Hag is reportedly making an attempt to be additional cautious and avoiding dashing him again to scale back the chance of additional accidents.
If the progress stays on monitor, then the report states that Mount even has a small, however unlikely probability to function in opposition to Brighton and Hove Albion.
