Mounting injuries

A decline in scoring can be expected when one of the game’s best midfielders is out of your lineup for over a month.

But for Manchester United, Paul Pogba has to get fit as soon as possible. Our midfield is in shambles as Ander Herrera continues to disappoint this season.

However, Pogba is just one of many injuries. Currently United have Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marouane Fellaini, Phil Jones, and Eric Bailly amongst others on the injury list.

And with Victor Lindelof looking like it’s his first time touching a ball, having two of our best center backs out is detrimental to the team — and Huddersfield showed us that.

To compete on all fronts, United need to be a full strength. But even a depleted United squad should be able to take a point from Huddersfield.
