Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Alexander Garnacho have all been linked with a move away from Manchester United
United have recorded back-to-back wins – against Brentford and Everton – to boost their chances of Champions League qualification, but in doing so have lost both Luke Shaw and Rashford to injury. The striker is suffered a groin injury and has undergone scans.
It’s not all bad news, though, as Christian Eriksen is back after almost three months out and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is back to match fitness.
Here’s the latest on Manchester United injuries.
Marcus Rashford
Rashford limped out of United’s 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday after pointing to his groin and asking to be substituted.
He has already been ruled out of Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla and the club expect Rashford to be sidelined for a few weeks.
A statement read: “Subsequent assessment of the injury suggested that Marcus will be unavailable for a few games, but is expected to be back for the season run-in … in the final weeks of the season.”
Potential return date: May 2023
Luke Shaw
Luke Shaw was withdrawn during the first half of last week’s win over Brentford with an unknown injury, though was able to walk off the pitch and down the tunnel in a seemingly positive sign.
The left-back missed the win at Everton and is a doubt to face Sevilla. Ten Hag said: “Luke Shaw is not available and we have to see how it progresses in the coming week.”
Alexander Garnacho
The youngster has been one of the most eye-catching stories of the season at United, but an ankle injury has curtailed his progress.
Ten Hag told reporters last month: “It will take weeks. He will be back before the end of the season. We can win a lot, so he has to be ready.”
Potential return date: April/May 2023
Tom Heaton
The goalkeeper has been sidelined for a number of weeks with an ankle injury.
Potential return date: May 2023
Donny van de Beek
The midfielder has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury.
Potential return date: Summer 2023
