In the upcoming English Premier League match on Saturday night (16th), Manchester United faced their "nemesis", Brighton, but suffered an unfavorable start. Coach Tannhäuser revealed that new midfielder Sufjan Rabat is out of action due to injury, while two key players, Warani and Mason Mount, have yet to fully recover, casting a shadow over the team's quest for victory.
Soufoun Yan Rabat joined Manchester United from Fiorentina on a last-minute deal via a rent-and-buy deal before the transfer window closed on September 1st. The 27-year-old defensive midfielder was plagued by a back injury but was still selected for the Moroccan national team for the international warm-up matches, unfortunately he ended up pulling out of the squad due to injury.
It was expected that Sufn Iwlabert would make his first appearance for United on Saturday, but things have changed. Tanhag said, "Unfortunately, Iwlabert returned with an injury and will not be able to play on Saturday, but I am sure he will be fit soon." It is expected that United's central midfield position will be filled by Kasmiru and Kirstian Allison as starters.
Manchester United's new signings this summer always seem to be accompanied by misfortune. Striker Helen, valued at a whopping 72 million pounds (HK$700 million), was out of action due to an injury, and didn't return until the last round of the EPL against Arsenal. Another high-priced recruit, Mason Mount, has also not been performing well, getting injured after playing only two Premier League matches. Tannhäuser revealed that although the England international and center-half Warani are close to recovering from their injuries, they are still unable to return for the match against Brighton. Combined with the recuperation of two left-backs, Lauki Suhr and Duvel Malacia, new signing left-back Ligurang is expected to make his debut.
