It looks as if Manchester United’s Premier League season is going from bad to worse.
Manchester United drew their game against Southampton 0-0 as a result of which they have slipped down from the 2nd spot on the league table. But that is not the only bit of bad news for the Red Devils.
In the coming few weeks, Jose Mourinho might face a severe crisis of players so much so that even lining up a proper attack could be a tough job for the Portuguese.
The first setback is surely Romelu Lukaku who had to be stretchered off during the game as a result of a head injury. And according to the reports coming in after the game, it seems that the Belgian could miss the next two games. While the United medical staff have confirmed that the injury to Romelu Lukaku is not as serious as it looked at first but he will have to be given atleast a fortnight’s rest meaning Romelu Lukaku will miss the next two games.
The second cause of concern is Ashley Young who was caught on camera elbowing Tadic on the stomach. The onfield referee missed that incident during the game but the Englishman could face a three-match suspension as a result of it.
And finally, when everyone thought that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will finally get some much-needed game time due to the absence of Romelu Lukaku, Mourinho has confirmed that the Swede is sidelined for atleast a month.
Yes, Romelu Lukaku has not been in fine goalscoring form but he still remains a major threat to any side and his absence will surely hurt United. On top of that Zlatan will also not be available for selection meaning either Rashford or Martial will play down the middle for the next couple of games.
