13 players for Manchester United’s match against Sheffield United could be absent.
Up to thirteen players might not be available for Manchester United’s Premier League match against Sheffield United on Wednesday.
The Red Devils defeated Championship team Coventry City on penalties, securing their place in the FA Cup final on Sunday afternoon.
In the semi-final, Man United gave up a three-goal advantage, forcing overtime. Erik ten Hag’s team prevailed 4-2 in the shootout to advance to the final against Manchester City.
Following their limping exits at Wembley, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay are now considered serious doubts for the team’s upcoming Premier League match against Sheffield united.
Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford were both substituted in the FA Cup semifinal.
Harry Maguire will also raise concerns because it appears like the center back aggravated a groin issue during the match against Coventry in the English capital.
Maguire was able to go through the whole 120 minutes of play, but he appeared uncomfortable in extra time and will need to be evaluated before it is decided whether or not to play against Sheffield United.
On Wednesday night, Man United will undoubtedly be without Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, and Raphael Varane.
At Wembley, the 20-time English champions were without Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat, and Willy Kambwala because of physical issues.
As a result, when Man United takes the field to play the side at the bottom of the Premier League table, there’s a probability that 13 players will be out.
Who is going to start in central defense for Sheffield United?
Although Kambwala’s availability is still unknown, if he is and Maguire can demonstrate his fitness, the two will start in the middle of the defense against Sheffield United.
However, if both are out, Ten Hag would have a serious issue in that section of the field.
It’s unclear if Casemiro will start at center back against Sheffield United after doing well in the first half of the game against Coventry.
The next in line to play in the middle of the defense are 18-year-olds Habeeb Ogunneye and Louis Jackson, who may make their first-team debuts the following week.
Left-back Harry Amass and forward Ethan Wheatley, who are both young players, will also be hoping to play after being included in the team for the match against Coventry.
