Eight players will be missing from Manchester United’s squad for their group stage Champions League match against Galatasaray on Tuesday at Old Trafford.

September proved to be a dismal month for the Red Devils, as they managed just two wins and four losses. The Premier League was the venue for three of the losses.

Prior to their European match against Galatasaray tomorrow, United will be missing eight players. Today, Lisandro Martinez’s manager Erik ten Hag announced that he will need another surgery.

In addition to the Argentine, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, and Sergio Reguilon are the other three left-backs whom United are missing due to injuries. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, the right-back, is also injured.

In addition to the defensive five, recent graduate Amad Diallo is recuperating from a preseason injury, while Jadon Sancho is presently on a club suspension due to disciplinary issues.

The eighth player for United who will not be available tomorrow is Donny van de Beek, who was left out of the team’s Champions League roster for the competition’s group stage.

Injuries have contributed to part of United’s challenging start to the season.

With just one senior full-back available for selection, United’s defense is severely lacking, but there are no worries in midfield or attack, where the manager may select his finest players.

Following a four-week suspension, Antony is back in team training, and tomorrow, the Brazilian might start. Together with Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, and Rasmus Hojlund, he could form a four-man attack. Now at last, Ten Hag can put his strongest attacking foursome together.
