🎙️| Erik Ten Hag on who gets the nod for Manchester Derby 

“Harry Maguire missed the game as a precaution, he is a question mark for Saturday - So we have training and we will have to see whether he is fit enough or not to be available."

“Victor played, but he is also a question mark and so is Azza [Aaron Wan-Bissaka]. Luke Shaw too. We have to see about [them] tomorrow.”

"Lisandro Martinez could be an option at the back. That is [on an] individual basis and every [player] has a different background”  #MUFC


• Worrisome Updates in America

Fresh from a shocking defeat in South Carolina against arch rivals, Liverpool [0-3], the boss have been speaking to MUTV providing much anticipated injury updates on the injured members of his squad.

During the match, Jonny Evans & Victor Lindelof were withdrawn at half time and were replaced by Will Fish & Rhys Bennett with the former suffering an impact injury after a collision with a Liverpool player during the match, he was stretched off and needed to be replaced.

                                      
West Ham United transfer target, Aaron Wan Bissaka was also brought off for a precautionary measure to discourage aggravating a potential injury.

When asked by the club's TV presenters during the post-match interview about the worrisome injury concerns, He said;

“Always, we have to see what has gone on. The assessment, of course, with Will Fish is it’s an impact injury. We also had to sub Jonny Evans at half-time because he was ill. Victor Lindelof [was] a precaution. So, yeah, there are some injuries, but we have to see how bad it will be.”

Before kickoff Ten Hag spoke about noticeable absentee, Harry Maguire who started the last game against Real Betis, He said;

"Pre-season is always tough. But, yeah, Harry Maguire, as a precaution, we leave him out,” 

“And we had, of course, some injuries, but that is part of club football. We have to develop our team and make some good progression.”

Manchester United are scheduled to return to Manchester later today after taking a short rest.

PART 1 - Wrong Substitutions by ETH It was a tough afternoon yesterday for all Manchester United fans worldwide as we watched in disbelief our dear team losing the game yet again in the dead of time. 📈 Since 2022/23 campaign, Manchester United have lost more premier league games (6) due to goals scored from 90th minutes upwards than any other team in the Premier league. In the past 30 seasons, this situation had only happened twice to United.[ @OptaJoe ] #MUFC pic.twitter.com/GumdE0FuX5 — UTDQuarters (@UTDQuarters) August 24, 2024   It was a recurring issue last campaign and with the level of new defensive covers brought in this summer, we all hoped it was a thing of the past. Here we are again.   To win a game, bulk of the responsibility rest on the shoulder of the players designated to defend. Last week against Fulham, the boss brought off Harry Maguire who was arguably the best player on the pitch in that fixture. He repeated same fit this weekend by withdrawing the Eng...
