Manchester United has launched an internal investigation into the mounting injury woes plaguing the club this season.
The team has faced a relentless barrage of injuries, leaving manager Ten Hag grappling with constant lineup disruptions.
The crisis intensified with defenders Martinez and Lindelof sidelined for a month due to calf and hamstring injuries, respectively, joining Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia on the injury list.
When questioned about the injury onslaught, Ten Hag commented on Wednesday, stating, “We have an understanding of the situation, but we will address it internally.”
He emphasized the urgency of the situation, highlighting the lack of defensive options while expressing relief at the return of players like Rapha Varane and Jonny Evans to training.
Attributing United’s injury woes to the demanding schedule and the rigorous nature of the Premier League, Ten Hag noted that other top teams have also grappled with similar challenges.
He pointed out the intensity of the league, coupled with international commitments, as contributing factors.
As the investigation unfolds, United remains focused on managing their resources effectively amidst the relentless demands of elite football competition.
