Manchester United are having their worst start to the season in a long time but the injury list will not help the English club to bounce back. At least nine United players have been injured since the start of the season.

Manchester United are in 10th place in the Premier League and have lost their last two Champions League games. These poor results are not to be expected from the Red Devils but they are not having their best start to the season.

Dutch manager Erik ten Hag is missing several key players such as Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Amad Diallo, Lisandro Martinez and Aaron Wan-Bissaka due to injury. And the injury list continues to grow due to the international break.

Sofyan Amrabat, who arrived at Old Trafford in the summer transfer window, was absent from Morocco’s 3-0 win over Liberia and has been forced to leave the training camp with a back problem.

New signings Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund were absent for the first few games of the campaign due to minor injuries that kept them sidelined. As a result, the Red Devils were unable to make an impact in domestic competition.

Elsewhere, Casemiro, who suffered a knock in Brazil’s 1-1 draw with Venezuela, has recovered and took part in Brazil’s training session on Monday. Erik ten Hag will have to manage in the next few matches to improve the team’s performances. Otherwise, his future at Old Trafford could be unclear.
