United’s Crutches Galore Dream Team…
It’s raining injuries at Old Trafford, and Manchester United’s season is starting to resemble a medical drama. After an agonizing penalty shootout against Fulham in the FA Cup, United are clutching at Europa League glory like it’s the last slice of pizza at a party.
Coach Ruben Amorim is gearing up for a trip to Real Sociedad, but he’s facing the kind of trouble no aspirin can fix: a squad that’s got more injuries than a slapstick comedy cast. Picture this: nine players are out, and Amorim’s wish list for recovery is more ambitious than a New Year’s resolution.
Amad, seen on crutches over the weekend, is playing footsie with misfortune and won’t be back until August. Meanwhile, Lisandro Martinez is nursing an ACL injury, wishing he had a less dramatic way to get a vacation. Amorim admits, “Sometimes in moments, everything goes wrong,” which sounds like he’s describing my attempts at parallel parking.
And if you thought muscle strains were the end of it, think again! With Luke Shaw and company in need of fitness fairy dust, the Red Devils are facing an injury situation spicier than a ghost pepper. Buckle up, United fans, we’re all in for a bumpy (and slightly painful) ride!
