Manchester United fans can finally see a glimmer of hope as the club provides updates on several key players recovering from injuries.
After a challenging start to the season, Erik ten Hag’s squad is eagerly anticipating the return of some crucial players who could help turn their fortunes around.
Kenyans have started calls for Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat to be dismissed over poor performances but there are a number of factors that make his sacking difficult.
Young defender Leny Yoro has been on the mend since suffering a foot injury during pre-season. Initial reports indicated a three-month recovery period following successful surgery, but recent updates bring positive news. Yoro is now walking unaided and making steady progress. Although he has yet to feature for the Red Devils, his anticipated return in November 2024 brings optimism for a stronger defensive line-up.
Striker Rasmus Hojlund, who picked up a hamstring injury during the summer tour, has been a notable absentee this season. However, Erik ten Hag has provided encouraging news, suggesting that Hojlund’s return is imminent. The striker is expected to be fit and available for selection by September 21, when United face Crystal Palace. His return will be a significant boost to United’s attacking options, potentially reinvigorating their forward play.
The tallest football players that are currently pursuing the sport.
Tyrell Malacia’s long road to recovery from knee surgery has seen him sidelined for over a year. The left-back missed the entirety of last season and struggled through pre-season. Yet, his inclusion in the squad for the Europa League hints at a comeback on the horizon. Ten Hag has indicated that Malacia could be back in team training within the next two months, with a potential return to action set for late October or early November. His return would add depth to United’s defensive options.
Luke Shaw has been absent due to a calf injury sustained just before the start of the season. Despite missing the opening fixtures, Shaw’s recovery is progressing, and he could make his return as early as September 14 against Southampton. Shaw’s return would be a welcome boost for United’s defence, offering stability and experience.
The Nations League has witnessed top stars shine with much more expected this weekend.
Mason Mount’s recent “minor muscle injury” is expected to sideline him for up to five weeks. Although he will miss the start of the Europa League campaign, Mount’s expected return in October will provide a timely boost to United’s midfield.
Victor Lindelof, who has been struggling with a toe injury, is also expected to make a return later this month. His presence in the squad will help strengthen United’s defensive options as they navigate a busy fixture schedule.
With these key players edging closer to full fitness, Manchester United can look forward to a stronger squad in the coming weeks.
The returns of Yoro, Hojlund, Malacia, Shaw, Mount, and Lindelof are set to provide Erik ten Hag with valuable resources to address recent challenges and push for better results as the season progresses.
Fans will be hopeful that these returning stars can help shift the momentum and guide United back to their winning ways.
