Man Utd suffer injury blow ahead of Spurs clash in the Premier League, as per latest news.
Man Utd Injury News Ahead Of Spurs Clash
Manchester United walk into the Tottenham game after three huge Premier League wins. But, the injury list refuses to clear. Michael Carrick has steadied the ship with victories over Manchester City, Arsenal, and Fulham. That has lifted Man Utd into fourth and back in the title race conversation. Still, the absence of Matthijs de Ligt remains a major talking point around Old Trafford.
The Dutch defender has been sidelined for weeks with a back issue. He has been missing the last twelve matches in all competitions. United have coped better than expected, showing grit and control at the back. But, De Ligt’s leadership and calmness on the ball are badly missed. He was signed to be the defensive anchor in high pressure games. That is exactly the kind United face against Spurs.
Club sources suggest De Ligt is making progress. But, Saturday comes too soon for him to recover. February is now marked as the realistic return window. The medical staff is unwilling to rush him back. With the season entering a key phase, Man Utd know they will need him fresh rather than fast. The challenge is holding form until then. This comes especially with the fixture list tightening and expectations rising.

Patrick Dorgu Injury Brings Fresh Setback on Left Side
Patrick Dorgu’s injury is another blow that has quietly disrupted United’s rhythm. The young Dane had been one of the breakout stories of the campaign. He has been impressing fans with his energy, pace, and fearless approach down the left wing. His form before the Arsenal clash had earned praise inside the dressing room and trust from the coaching staff.
That progress came was put on hold after a hamstring injury forced him off against Arsenal. Initial fears have now been confirmed, as he is expected to spend around nine more weeks on the sidelines. For a player building momentum, it is a frustrating pause at the worst possible time.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils are now forced to juggle options in wide areas. They are relying on rotation and experience rather than the spark that Dorgu offered. Though, the club remains confident in his long term future. However, this injury shows the thin margins at the top level. With that, his recovery will likely be slow and measured, with no risks taken. The focus is on having him ready for the final stretch of the campaign. The depth and freshness often decide seasons during that time.
Mount Doubt Adds Late Drama Before Tottenham Test
Mason Mount’s situation adds another layer of uncertainty just days before kickoff. The midfielder missed the Fulham win after picking up a knock in training. That was a setback that caught many by surprise. Mount has worked hard to rebuild confidence after earlier struggles at Old Trafford. But, the injury makes his latest issue particularly frustrating.
Nonetheless, Man United staff remain cautious with him. They will be seeing him as a major doubt rather than ruling him out completely. Late assessments will decide his involvement. Though even if he is fit, match sharpness could be a concern. Against a Tottenham side that thrives on tempo and transitions, any hesitation could be costly.
Despite that, the Red Devils will enter the match with confidence rarely seen earlier in the season. Three wins on the go have restored belief and raised the standards. In addition, it has reconnected the squad with supporters as well. Injuries may limit options, but momentum is real. How Carrick balances his squad for the Spurs’ game could define the afternoon.
