Manchester United’s injury woes continue to pile up at the worst possible time, leaving Ruben Amorim with major selection headaches ahead of their crucial Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
United’s squad has already struggled for consistency this season, with injuries to key players disrupting Amorim’s plans and forcing constant tactical reshuffling.

January was seen as an opportunity for the club to reinforce their attacking options, but United ultimately chose to hold off on signings, preferring to wait for a summer rebuild instead.
This gamble has now come back to haunt them, as injuries to key figures have left the squad dangerously thin, forcing Amorim to look toward the academy for reinforcements.
Amad Diallo’s season-ending injury has been a massive blow, robbing United of a promising wide option who could have played a crucial role in the run-in.
Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Toby Collyer are all unavailable for the Tottenham game, leaving United without crucial midfield depth in one of their toughest fixtures of the season.
With the squad stretched to its limits, Amorim has been left with no choice but to promote several youth players to the first-team squad ahead of this weekend’s match.

Chido Obi, Sekou Kone, Harry Amass, Jack Moorhouse, and Elyh Harrison have been selected to travel with United’s first-team squad in the clash against Tottenham this Sunday, according to @AcademyScoop via X.
Amorim has been forced to select upon the top performing United academy players to fill the holes left by the several injuries received from the first team.
The manager is expected to give at least one of the youngsters a spot on the bench as United scramble to fill out their squad.
With first-team players missing, this could be a defining moment for United’s academy prospects to step up on the big stage.
Amorim’s decision underscores the severity of United’s injury crisis and the desperate need for depth as the season reaches its decisive phase.
