„Manchester United“ is suffering from a very high number of injuries this season, and before Thursday's match against London's „Chelsea“, two more defenders dropped out of the lineup - Lisandro Martinez, who had just returned from injury, and Victor Lindelof.
Before Thursday's game, „Man Utd“ coach Erik ten Hag did not downplay the injury situation and stated that all the major English clubs are suffering from it.
„You can't avoid these things, all clubs suffer from injuries. The standards and intensity in the English „Premier“ League are top level.
In our club, almost all players play for their national teams. We see that even „Manchester City“, „Liverpool“, and „Newcastle United“ are affected by it.
Currently, we are suffering the most in the defensive department due to injuries, but in other areas the situation is quite good“, said E. ten Hag.
The „Red Devils“ coach also did not want to dwell on the poor performance against „Brentford“.
„I have been in football for a long time and I understand it well, and you should do the same, that sometimes these things happen. These things happen, but we are „Manchester United“ and sometimes we have to win even when playing poorly.
We cannot let the opponents fight back to win in the last minutes.
However, we must evaluate our game in the long term. For example, during the festive period, we played really well“, added the Dutchman.
