Manchester United suffered a blow as their defender Harry Maguire sustained an injury during their match against Aston Villa, which will leave him out of action for a few weeks. Maguire himself confirmed the news, expressing his frustration on Instagram. The incident occurred towards the end of the first half when Villa's Anwar El Ghazi landed awkwardly on Maguire, forcing him to be substituted at halftime for summer signing Matthijs de Ligt.
This was only Maguire's third start in the Premier League this season, as manager Erik ten Hag has been rotating him with De Ligt and Lisandro Martinez in the heart of the defense. The former United captain had recently scored a dramatic equalizer in the team's Champions League clash against Porto. However, he was not included in England's latest squad and will now be closely monitored by United's medical staff.
In his Instagram post, Maguire shared his disappointment at picking up an injury, but assured his followers that he will come back stronger. He also mentioned that he will be on the sidelines for a few weeks. This news was also confirmed by United's official news source, which stated that Maguire's injury will be assessed over the coming days and weeks.
Unfortunately, Maguire was not the only one to suffer an injury during the match. Noussair Mazraoui, who was signed from Bayern Munich in the summer, was also forced off the field, with Victor Lindelof taking his place at right-back. While the extent of Mazraoui's injury is yet to be confirmed, he has withdrawn from Morocco's squad for their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against the Central African Republic.
In addition to Mazraoui, United's midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has also withdrawn from England's squad due to an injury. This has added to the team's woes, as they already have several players out of action. However, the team will continue to push forward and work towards their goals, despite these setbacks. More updates on the players' injuries are expected to follow in the coming days. Stay tuned for more Manchester United news, exclusives, and analysis.
