Manchester Utd Team News - Soccer

Carlos Baleba - Nearing Manchester United debut Baleba (ankle) is expected to be in contention to start against Tottenham on Oct. 10 as he continues to build his fitness during the international break, according to The Athletic.

Impact Baleba has recovered quicker than initially expected from the ankle injury that has prevented him from making his Manchester United debut, and he was already fit enough to make the bench against Fulham before the break. The midfielder has continued an individual program at Carrington and could also receive minutes in an academy match against Lausanne-Sport before first-team action resumes. Baleba was signed to provide a more natural defensive presence in midfield following Casemiro's departure and should compete with Kobbie Mainoo, Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos for a starting role once fully fit.

Noussair Mazraoui - Suffers injury with Morocco Mazraoui suffered an injury in Tuesday's match between Morocco and Lesotho, Amos Murphy of The Express reports.

Impact Mazraoui was subbed off in the second half with an apparent back issue, which is a major blow for Manchester United since Patrick Dorgu (hamstring) also suffered an injury during the break. With both Mazraoui and Dorgu dealing with fitness issues, as well as Luke Shaw's own injury problems, it remains to be seen who could get the nod at left-back for Manchester United when they resume their Premier League campaign against Tottenham on Saturday, Oct. 10. In the worst-case scenario, Harry Amass could get the nod at left-back, unless Michael Carrick decides to improvise and play Lisandro Martinez in a wider position.

Impact Dorgu is undergoing further tests at Carrington to determine the severity of the suspected hamstring injury after his early exit against Wales. The defender had featured in six of United's seven matches across all competitions this season before the setback. His availability for the Oct. 10 clash against Tottenham is now uncertain, with Luke Shaw likely to continue at left-back if Dorgu is unavailable.

Bruno Fernandes - Managing ongoing fitness issue Fernandes (fitness) will remain with Portugal despite missing Sunday's 2-1 win over Norway and could return for Thursday's Nations League clash against Denmark, according to ESPN.

Impact Fernandes has been managing the issue since Manchester United's Champions League win over Sabah FK on Sept. 10 but has continued to play through it at club level. He passed late fitness tests before completing 90 minutes against both Manchester City and Fulham, in addition to playing 20 minutes against Brighton in the Carabao Cup. Fernandes has remained highly productive despite the fitness concern, recording four goals and one assist in six appearances across all competitions this season. He could return against Denmark, though Portugal may continue to manage his workload.

Patrick Dorgu - Returns to Manchester for assessment Dorgu (hamstring) is returning to Manchester for assessment after picking up an injury in Denmark's win over Wales, according to Tyrone Marshall of the Daily Mirror.

Impact Dorgu was forced off in the 30th minute of Sunday's match with an apparent hamstring injury, and a further diagnosis is likely to come within the next day or two. If he is forced to miss time, Luke Shaw would continue at left back, meaning the club would not need to make a major change.

Impact Fernandes had been playing through an injury picked up with his club, which may account for his off-colour form apart from the win over Ipswich Town, and Portugal held him out of the Norway match as a precaution. His next chance to feature will come against Denmark on Thursday, with Portugal playing twice more before the break ends. Fernandes contributed four goals and one assist in six appearances across all competitions this campaign for the Red Devils.

Bruno Fernandes - Sitting out Sunday Fernandes (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's match against Norway.

Impact Fernandes was not with his group for training ahead of Sunday's contest, and that has left him out, with an undisclosed injury too much to play through. He had previously picked up the injury with his club and had been playing through it, so the hope is that this is just cautionary, not risking an important player for the club. Portugal will play twice more before the end of the break, potentially giving the midfielder a chance to return during the break.

Patrick Dorgu - Picks up hamstring injury Dorgu was forced off in the 30th minute of Sunday's match against Wales due to an apparent hamstring injury, according to Arthur Ferridge of the Standard.

Impact Dorgu was with Denmark for the international break and has now picked up an injury with the team, appearing to suffer a hamstring injury just after Bruno Fernandes (undisclosed) was also injured. That said, this could be a rough break for United as they hopefully don't lose two players, with a further diagnosis likely to come within the next day or two. If Dorgu were to miss some time, this would leave Luke Shaw to continue at left-back, not forcing much of a change for the club.

Impact Sesko remains without a firm return timeline, with Slovenia manager Bostjan Cesar's comments suggesting the striker will need a patient rehabilitation process before returning to action. He had already withdrawn from Slovenia duty after missing the match against Fulham, allowing him to remain with Manchester United and focus on his recovery. Sesko had scored twice across his previous four appearances in all competitions before the setback, while Matheus Cunha or Bryan Mbeumo could continue through the middle during his absence.

Impact Zirkzee has made four appearances for Manchester United this season and has earned six caps for the Netherlands, all under previous coach Ronald Koeman, including a goal in a 5-2 win over Bosnia in September 2024.

Noussair Mazraoui - Settles into rotation role Mazraoui has not featured in Manchester United's last two matches after making four appearances across the Premier League and Champions League to begin the season, including two st...

Impact Mazraoui has settled into a rotational role at right-back, with Diogo Dalot currently ahead of him in the pecking order. The defender was regularly involved early in the campaign but has since gone unused in two consecutive matches, highlighting the competition for minutes. His versatility and experience should keep him involved throughout the season, though Dalot's position as the preferred option could limit Mazraoui to sporadic starts and substitute appearances.

Bruno Fernandes - 12 crosses in draw Fernandes generated three shots (zero on goal), 12 crosses (two accurate) and eight corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Fulham.

Impact Fernandes led the United attack once again Sunday, recording 12 crosses and created four chances on the attack. He also took three shots but failed to put any on target. Outside of his incredible hat-trick plus assist performance versus Ipswich, Fernandes has not recorded a goal contribution in his other four Premier League appearances. He'll hope to get back on track after the international break.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Lisandro Martinez - Scores own goal Sunday Martinez had an own goal, four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Fulham.

Impact Martinez opened the scoring Sunday, but he did it on the wrong end of the pitch. Senne Lammens parried a Fulham shot straight into Martinez, and the ball directed into the back of the net to give the home side the lead in the 63rd minute. It's a tough stat to go on Martinez's sheet, but it can hardly be characterized as his fault. Martinez desperately tried to get the goal back on the attack, recording a season-high four shots in his full 90 minutes of action.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Bryan Mbeumo - Productive in Sunday's draw Mbeumo registered five shots (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Fulham.

Impact Mbeumo had a productive outing Sunday despite not bagging a goal. He tied season highs in shots (five) and chances created (three) and also recorded six crosses on the attack. He has two goals through five Premier League appearances this season but his attacking stats suggest more goal contributions are in his future.

Patrick Dorgu - Assists equalizer Sunday Dorgu assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Fulham.

Impact Dorgu set up Matheus Cunha's outside-the-box strike in the 89th minute Sunday, a goal which turned a loss into a draw for the Red Devils. It was the only chance he created in the match and it marked his first goal contribution in the Premier League this season.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Matheus Cunha - Bags equalizer Sunday Cunha scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Fulham.

Impact Cunha scored a crucial goal Sunday, an outside-the-box strike in the 89th minute assisted by Patrick Dorgu which secured the draw. It was one of three shots he took in the match and he also created a season-high three chances. It's been a solid start to the season for the forward with one goal and one assist across five Premier League starts.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Senne Lammens - Concedes once Sunday Lammens recorded six saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Fulham.

Impact Lammens conceded one goal in Sunday's draw, a Lisandro Martinez own goal in the 63rd minute. Lammens had a good performance outside of that, making a season-high six saves to avoid a worse result. Next up is a favorable matchup after the international break versus bottom of the table Tottenham, a side which has scored just two goals through five matches this season.
