Matches have been going strong and fast for Manchester United this season and, as a result, so have injuries.
Due to the disruption to the football calendar caused by the coronavirus, the season is being concentrated in a much shorter period of time than usual, resulting in more injuries for all teams in the Premier League.
United have been particularly affected when Luke Shaw joined the seemingly growing disabled list on Saturday, prompting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to criticize the match schedule.
“We were prepared to fail,” Solskjaer said. BT sport. “I told you before, I want to talk about the start time. They set the guys up to fail. We have Luke Shaw injured today because we have been in Turkey, we have already played many games this season, we were in Turkey on Wednesday night, We came back Thursday morning and will play on Saturday at a start at lunch time, it’s an absolute disaster.

“I can’t praise the boys enough for the character they have shown. Those boys deserve better than being thrown out here to fail.”
While some players face a period on the sidelines, others have just suffered blows and should hopefully be in action when United return after the international break.
Here’s the latest on United’s injured stars and their expected return dates …
Luke shaw
Left-back Shaw became the last, and almost certainly not the last, the victim of a grueling season in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Everton.
He limped off the court clutching his hamstring after 67 minutes and further scans have revealed the extent of the injury, ruling him out for at least a month.
The latest setback couldn’t have come at a worse time for Shaw, as he had just developed a rich streak of form and had provided two assists in his last two games.
What Solskjaer said: “We have Luke Shaw injured today because we have been in Turkey, we have played a lot of games this season, we were in Turkey on Wednesday night, Thursday morning and we played on Saturday at lunchtime, it’s a real disaster. “.
Expected return date: December 12th
Marcus rashford
Fit forward Rashford also suffered an injury at Goodison Park, coming from Merseyside with a shoulder problem that he suffered late in the game.
Despite the blow, he was still called up to the England squad, although he must undergo another evaluation before it is decided whether he will meet his international teammates at St. George’s Park on Thursday morning.
Expected return date: November 21

Mason Greenwood
It’s been a slow start to the season for teenage prodigy Greenwood and he slowed down even more on Saturday because he missed the trip to Everton due to illness.
The forward has not been called up for an England team at any age level, so he now has full international rest to recover.
What Solskjaer said: “He wasn’t feeling well last night. He looked good in training, but last night he reported that he was not feeling well, so he can’t travel.”
Expected return date: November 21
Alex Such
Telles, one of United’s most exciting summer signings, has yet managed to make only one appearance for the club due to a positive test for coronavirus.
United entered the international hiatus by winning what was arguably their biggest game of the season at Everton on Saturday.
The Reds under pressure came from behind to beat the Toffees thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ double and Edinson Cavani’s first goal for United.

Fortunately, the left-back is now available again and returned to training before the Everton game, although he did not take part in the match. He has been chosen for the Brazil team for their next World Cup qualifying matches.
With Shaw on the verge of missing several games, Telles will have to enter as a left back and international games give him a chance to get back in shape.
What Solskjaer said: “Alex has started training with us, which is good.”
Expected return date: November 21
Eric Bailly
Defender Bailly has suffered from injuries in recent seasons and suffered another one during the last international break while playing for Côte d’Ivoire.
The center-back was ruled out for three or four weeks, but could be available for the national team again after current international matches.
What Solskjaer said: “Eric won’t be available, Jesse won’t be available, so I think we’ll get by without them for a few weeks.”
Expected return date: November 21
Jesse lingard
Lingard was ruled out for several weeks due to an unspecified injury, but recently returned to training and Solskjaer was hoping to be able to travel to Istanbul, although that did not happen. He was also not involved against Everton.
The 27-year-old has become a figure on the periphery this season, with his only two Carabao Cup appearances, and his future at the club remains uncertain.
What Solskjaer said: “Jesse has trained. We will see if there is any reaction. He may be able to travel to Istanbul, but we are not sure yet.”
Expected return date: N / A
Phil Jones
The central defender’s bad luck has continued, as he remains sidelined by another injury, this time to the knee. Even if Jones were fit, he would not be able to play in the first team as he is not enrolled in the Premier League or Champions League teams.
Jones last participated in the 6-0 FA Cup win over Tranmere Rovers in January and will have to wait until December at the earliest if he is to participate in the Carabao Cup.
What Solskjaer said: “[He’s] working very hard to be back, hopefully he will get back in shape in December. “
Expected return date: N / A
