Yet another injury in defence for the Red Devils
Manchester United head into the international break sweating over yet another injury.
With Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans already sidelined, young star Ayden Heaven looks set to join them on the sidelines.
The teenager had to be stretchered off during the 3-0 win at Leicester and was spotted wearing a protective boot after the game.
Both player and club now faces a nervous wait to discover the extent of the injury, but hope to have other players closer to returns after the international break.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Manchester United injuries.

Yet another injury in defence for United as the young defender had to be stretchered off on his first Premier League start.
The 18-year-old tried to intercept the ball at the back post and then went down awkwardly just off the pitch. He looked in some pain and was spotted wearing a protective boot, though without crutches, after the game.
Asked for an update after the 3-0 win, Amorim said: : "It's hard to know because we have to evaluate during the week. And also because he is a young kid that doesn't know how to explain and that makes it a little bit harder to understand what he is feeling."
Potential return date: Unknown
Leny Yoro came off at half-time during the Arsenal game and subsequently sat out the wins over Real Sociedad and Leicester.
Amorim confirmed soon after that the young defender was suffering with a foot injury, and then allayed fears over a lengthy absence.
The United manager told reporters last week: "No, no [Yoro's absence] is not long-term.”
Potential return date: April 2025

Harry Maguire missed the wins over Real Sociedad and Leicester with a calf injury.
It has been hoped that the England international would be back for the trip to the King Power Stadium, so a return after the international break seems likely.
Potential return date: April 2025
Amad had been ruled out for the rest of the season after damaging ankle ligaments in training last month.
However, the forward appears to be ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation as earlier this month Amorim hinted Amad could potentially feature before the end of the campaign.
He said: “I don't want to say nothing, but I have the hope to have Amad before the end of the season. We'll see.”
Potential return date: May 2025

Kobbie Mainoo is working towards a return to first-team action after picking up an unspecified injury last month.
He has missed out on Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad but is nearing a return. It is hoped he could be back in contention for United after the international break.
Potential return date: April 2025
Luke Shaw’s injury issues continue to hamper his season, and has been sidelined since a brief comeback in December.
The left-back has been able to make just three appearances this season and suffered a setback in his return from a muscle injury in February.
Amorim has suggested that Shaw could make the pitch again before the end of the season.

Back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has missed the last few games due to an unspecified knock
Amorim claimed back in February the stopper was recovering but there has since been no official update.
Potential return date: Unknown
Veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton is also unavailable with an unspecified issue.
Speaking last month, Amorim said this of the third-choice shot-stopper: "Tom is making a recovery. Again, I don't have a day, but [Heaton and Bayindir] are recovering."
Potential return date: Unknown
Jonny Evans could be a useful option for Amorim but hasn’t played since suffering a back injury in December.
He last made a matchday squad on December 26 and has not been seen since.
Potential return date: Unknown
Lisandro Martinez damaged his cruciate ligament in February and has undergone surgery.
He has been ruled out for several months, and is not expected back until late in 2025.
Potential return date: November/December 2025
