Amid Manchester United's injury crisis, manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly losing confidence in two key players. The team recently faced a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, during which Amorim had to rely heavily on academy players due to numerous injuries. Notably, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount, who have been sidelined for extended periods, are expected to fill crucial roles upon their return. However, their prolonged absences may lead to a loss of Amorim's trust if they do not return promptly to support the team.
Manchester United’s recent 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur highlighted manager Ruben Amorim’s reliance on youth due to an escalating injury crisis. Forced to field seven academy players on the bench, with Victor Lindelöf as the sole experienced Premier League substitute, Amorim’s squad depth is being severely tested.
The injury list includes Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer with minor issues, while Christian Eriksen and Leny Yoro are sidelined by illness. Notably, Amad Diallo has suffered a significant ankle injury, potentially ruling him out for the remainder of the season, alongside Lisandro Martínez. Additionally, Kobbie Mainoo is expected to be out for six weeks due to a calf strain sustained during training.
Reports suggest that Ugarte, Yoro, Eriksen, and Collyer may return to action soon, but Amorim still faces challenges, particularly in central defense and the attacking line, due to the long-term absences of Martínez and Amad. Luke Shaw and Mason Mount, who have been sidelined with injuries—Shaw not having started a game in over a year—are potential solutions for these gaps. However, their prolonged absences may lead to a loss of Amorim’s trust if they do not return promptly to support the team.
Amorim has emphasized the need for players to be physically prepared to meet his tactical demands. The lack of recent updates on Shaw and Mount’s conditions adds to the uncertainty of their potential contributions in the near future.
