Manchester UnitedSummary
Generated byManchester United head into the October international break dealing with a growing injury list that threatens to derail their already stuttering start to the Premier League season. The club sit 12th in the table with five points from five games, and the problems off the pitch are compounding the pressure on manager Michael Carrick.
The most pressing concern is the fitness of captain Bruno Fernandes. Reports emerged that the 32-year-old has been playing through significant pain for several weeks, and he was forced to sit out Portugal's Nations League clash with Norway. The situation has drawn sharp criticism of the club's medical management. Alongside that, Patrick Dorgu limped off during Denmark's Nations League fixture, and Denmark head coach Brian Riemer confirmed the winger has withdrawn from the squad entirely.
Carrick has responded to the difficult period by arranging a behind-closed-doors friendly against a fellow INEOS-owned club during the break, using Sir Jim Ratcliffe's multi-club network to keep players sharp. There was some encouragement when summer signing Carlos Baleba featured in that fixture after recovering from an ankle problem, offering a timely boost.
With Tottenham Hotspur visiting Old Trafford on October 10, the fitness of Fernandes and Dorgu will be closely monitored. United cannot afford further setbacks as they look to climb away from the bottom half of the Premier League table.
