Manchester United Faces Sickness Bug Ahead of Tottenham Clash

Manchester United’s ongoing restructuring under minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is facing significant challenges, with manager Ruben Amorim revealing financial constraints and a recent sickness bug impacting the squad ahead of their crucial Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Just a year after Ratcliffe’s arrival, the club is grappling with the financial realities of its ambitious “Mission 21” and “Project 150” plans – aiming for a 21st league title by the club’s 150th anniversary in 2028.

Amorim admitted that the club’s current financial situation necessitates player sales before any new acquisitions can be made in the summer transfer window.

“Here is simple – to do something we need to sell players,” Amorim stated, emphasizing the need to comply with financial fair play regulations.

This constraint hampered their winter transfer activity and casts doubt on the club’s ability to quickly achieve its ambitious on-field goals.

Amorim acknowledged the pressure, saying, “We know that, but we need to work every day and to focus on the little steps, winning the next game, prepare very well the next summer and then we will see.”

He stressed that while aware of the financial difficulties, his immediate focus remains on coaching the team and preparing for upcoming matches.

Adding to the club’s woes, a sickness bug has swept through the squad, disrupting preparations for the Tottenham game.

While Amorim confirmed that only one player is currently affected, he remained tight-lipped about the player’s identity, stating, “We have one player who is sick, so we will see the team on the weekend.”

He did, however, confirm that several key players, including Mason Mount, Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw, and Altay Bayindir, will remain sidelined due to injury.

Lisandro Martinez is a long-term absentee, having suffered a knee injury that is expected to keep him out for the rest of the season.

The manager also hinted at the possibility of calling up academy players to fill the gaps left by injuries and illness.

While he declined to name specific individuals, he acknowledged that young players have been training with the first team.

This comes after 17-year-old striker Chido Obi’s impressive hat-trick in the FA Youth Cup win against Chelsea.
