Manchester United have endured a miserable start to the new campaign and, much like last season, injuries have exacerbated the crisis at Old Trafford.
While Erik ten Hag can’t use injuries as an excuse for his side’s disjointed displays, the busy treatment room certainly doesn’t make his job any easier. Defence and midfield have been particularly injury-hit at the beginning of 2024/25.
The October international break has provided respite for Ten Hag under increasing pressure and has allowed some of his first-teamers a rare break. However, others have been globe-trotting over the past fortnight and will need to be assessed on their return to Manchester.
Here is all the latest Manchester United injury news.
United splashed a significant sum on Leny Yoro over the summer but the teenager is yet to make a competitive appearance for the Red Devils. A foot injury sustained during a pre-season friendly with Arsenal has left him sidelined for the entirety of the season thus far after undergoing surgery.

United fans haven’t seen Tyrell Malacia in action since the 2022/23 season, with the Dutchman having spent last term recovering from knee surgery. Ten Hag made it clear he was still a few months away from action at the start of this term.
Several months have now passed and Malacia should be closing in on a return. He is taking part in certain bits of training and building fitness all the time.
