JAKARTA - Manchester United is in a crisis. The start of the 2023/2024 season did not go as expected.
MU has had its worst start since 1986. For the first time in 37 years, MU has lost six times to the initial 10 matches.
Not wanting it to get worse, MU also conducted an investigation. The thing that is in the spotlight is the number of injured players.
Erik ten Hag's squad was eroded by the physical problems of the players. A number of players had to enter the treatment room due to injury, some were even absent for a long time.
Leandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Amad Diallo are on the list. Raphael Varane, Mason Mount and Sergio Reguilon were also hit by the same problem, injuries!
Recently, Casemiro, who also experienced the same thing. He was reportedly injured while defending the Brazilian national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifying Conmebol zone.
This is what makes the MU medical team prepare for investigative steps, as reported by the Daily Mail. The team doctors actively identify the existing problems.
Please note, MU appointed former Arsenal doctor Gary O'Driscoll in the medical team as chief medical last month. He is expected to play a major role in this investigation.
Ten Hag once complained about the player's injury that befell his team. The Manchester United manager claims he has never been able to play the best team since the start of last season due to injury problems.
However, he had to accept that fact and here are the results.
"Injuries are always present in top football because we are at a high level and injuries keep popping up. We analyze why these things happen but we have to face the facts," said the Dutchman.
"The most important thing is the existing players. We have a team that is quartish and we have to get the best out of them," Ten Hag continued.
