Man Utd take action! Red Devils' medical department overhauled amid raft of injuries for beleaguered Erik ten Hag

Erik ten Hag has had to cope without key players such as Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Casemiro, Mason Mount and Christian Eriksen for long spells this season due to injury. Changes are now set to be made to the medical staff by head of sports medicine Gary O'Driscoll, according to Mail Online. O'Driscoll moved to United from Arsenal in the summer and has a number of recommendations he will make to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team once their 25 percent stake in the club has been confirmed.

O'Driscoll wants to modernise United's approach and "implement newer methods and a forward-thinking approach". The overhaul will see the club add younger practitioners to the staff and "make a concerted effort" to have more diversity on the medical team. There are fears at United that their current approach is outdated and their rivals are "significantly more advanced in terms of sports medicine".

Manchester United saw Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire go off injured against Bayern which means they could be without 13 senior players against Liverpool on Sunday. The duo join Martinez, Casemiro, Mount, Tyrell Malacia, Eriksen, Amad Diallo and Victor Lindelof on the injury list. Antony Martial and Marcus Rashford are doubts after missing the Bayern game due to illness, while Jadon Sancho has been banished from the first-team squad and Bruno Fernandes is suspended.

Ten Hag will be weating on the fitness of Shaw, Maguire and Rashford ahead of Sunday's trip to Anfield. United head into the fixture against the league leaders after defeats to Bournemouth and Bayern Munich and will need no reminding they lost 7-0 to Liverpool at Anfield back in March.
