Terrible news hits Manchester United as the club suffer fresh setback as official details of Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo’s injury come to light as they are to miss at least six matches. And we thought things can’t get worse than losing to Tottenham😭💔 Would something like this happen to such young players 😭💔 But our major setback is our current manager 😒💔 He is definitely not ready to coach our club 😒
Manchester United Faces Injury Setbacks as Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo Sidelined
Manchester United’s season has suffered a severe blow with key players Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo ruled out due to injuries sustained during training. Their absence adds to the club’s growing list of sidelined stars, posing a significant challenge for manager Ruben Amorim.
Amad Diallo’s Season Cut Short by Ankle Injury
Amad Diallo, United’s top Premier League scorer this season with six goals, sustained an ankle ligament injury during a training session. The 22-year-old winger got his foot caught awkwardly in the turf while attempting a tackle, leading to a serious setback that is expected to keep him out for the rest of the season.
Expressing his disappointment on social media, Diallo wrote, “It’s tough to be out at such a crucial point in the season, but I’ll come back stronger. Time to support the team from the sidelines—there’s still a lot to fight for.” His absence leaves a gap in United’s attack, further complicating the team’s struggles this season.
Kobbie Mainoo Faces Uncertain Recovery Timeline
Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is also sidelined after suffering a muscular injury in training. While early reports suggested he might return in six weeks, Amorim has not provided a clear recovery timeline. The 19-year-old has been a crucial part of United’s midfield, and his injury adds to the club’s ongoing fitness crisis. When asked about Mainoo’s return, Amorim admitted, “I don’t know. We have to adjust and manage the situation.”
Manchester United’s Growing Injury Crisis
Diallo and Mainoo join an already extensive injury list that includes Lisandro Martinez, who recently underwent ACL surgery, along with Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Jonny Evans. With so many key players unavailable, Amorim has been forced to turn to academy talents to fill gaps in the squad.
Upcoming Fixtures: A Tough Road Ahead
Despite these setbacks, Manchester United faces a packed schedule with crucial Premier League and cup fixtures on the horizon:
Ipswich Town @ Manchester United – Feb 26, 2025
Arsenal FC @ Manchester United – Mar 9, 2025
Manchester United @ Leicester City – Mar 16, 2025
Manchester United @ Nottingham Forest – Apr 1, 2025
Manchester City @ Manchester United – Apr 5, 2025
With limited squad depth, United must find ways to cope with these absences and maintain their competitiveness in the league and cup competitions. The coming weeks will be a major test for Amorim and his players as they
navigate this difficult period.
