Ruben Amorim is only three games away from a nightmare situation regarding one of his key midfielders.
The Manchester United squad has been plagued with injuries, with the midfield and defence being particularly hit.
Star man Kobbie Mainoo is still out of action as he hopes to return after the international break.
Mason Mount has been routinely injured throughout the seasons, having only just returned to the squad.
Amorim is hoping that Amad Diallo will be back soon despite serious damage done to a ligament in his ankle.
As such, the Portuguese manager has had to rely on veterans Casemiro and Christian Eriksen to cover his absentees.
Now he might have to turn to his youth stars for further cover as Manuel Ugarte is on the brink of disciplinary action.

Manuel Ugarte on brink of match ban
The Uruguayan midfielder arrived in the summer from PSG and has already established himself in the middle of the pitch.
However, Ugarte’s dangerously close to a two-match ban.
Premier League rules state that any player who gets 10 yellow cards within the opening 32 games of the season will be handed a two-match ban.
Ugarte currently has eight bookings in 29 games, having already served a match ban, missing their game against Newcastle in December.
To avoid the ban, the Uruguayan needs to avoid picking up cards in two of the next three games.
However, with the strong style of play Ugarte brings to the middle of the pitch, this might be a tall ask for the 24-year-old.
