Since the start of pre-season, United's main players have been plagued by injuries, and Ten Hag has not even been able to muster an ideal squad in a single game. As a result, the Manchester United Academy students have been called up by Ten Hag to feature in league and cup competitions.
With the exception of Jadon Sancho, who was suspended due to disciplinary issues, the rest of the absences were due to injury. The forwards, midfielders, and defenders in the lineup are all injured to varying degrees, and the length of time they have been absent due to injuries varies.
Defenders have been injured the longest, with Martinez being the longest injured and starting the second game of the season, and it is reported that he can now return to the training ground, but the timing of the game is yet to be assessed. Raphael Varane's inconsistent form since injury and vitreous physique have led to a gradual loss of trust in Ten Hag. According to the latest news, Maguire continues to recover from injury, while another defender, Victor Lindelof, has just undergone surgery and the timing of his return is uncertain.
Midfielders Casemiro and Mason Mount remain injured. Christian Eriksen has returned to the team quickly, but Casemiro's injury has had a big impact on Manchester United.
Striker Anthony Martial has been recognised as a glass man and has spent a lot more time recuperating from injuries than he has been on the pitch. This is not the news that this guy is injured again.
Ten Hag's troubles have ensued due to the flood of injuries. In the selection of the squad personnel for the competition, we had to succumb to reality. As a result, the United Academy was called up by the manager, and Mebley, Pellistri, Meno, Cambowala and Gore were given the opportunity to play. There is also a talented Diallo, who has improved greatly since last season's loan training, and is now back from injury, and Ten Hag may try to use it if Antony is not useful.
A large number of youth students in Manchester United's personnel have been given the opportunity to play, in addition to the helplessness of having to do it, more Ten Hag has effectively imitated the path of Ferguson and led Manchester United to ZTE. While the player who gets the chance to play is not necessarily the cornerstone of the team, he is certainly the one who gives his best to the team and is the most obedient to the manager. With veteran Academy players Carnacho, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay now available, plus a new batch of Academy students, as long as the opportunity allows, maybe Ten Hag can really do a miracle.
