Man Utd face midfield injury crisis! Ruben Amorim dealt Kobbie Mainoo & Manuel Ugarte blows ahead of Tottenham showdown

Mainoo, Ugarte and Toby Collyer have all been ruled out of action after suffering injuries during the club's training sessions this week, according to The Athletic. The report adds that Mainoo is likely to remain sidelined for a couple of weeks while Ugarte and Collyer are unlikely to feature in the matchday squad for United's upcoming Premier League game against Spurs on Sunday in North London.

In the absence of the midfield trio, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are likely to return to Ruben Amorim's starting lineup. 19-year-old academy graduate Jack Moorhouse will also start training with the first team. Moorhouse has appeared in seven U-21 league games this season where he has scored two goals.

Speaking to reporters, the Portuguese coach said: "(It) was a good week until two days ago, we had some problems. We don’t have players back, maybe we have one or two issues, we are waiting. We have one player who is sick, we will see on the weekend."

After facing Ange Postecoglou's side this weekend in a crucial Premier League fixture, the Red Devils will be next seen in action on February 22 as they face Everton at Goodison Park.
