Manchester United defeated Charlton in the last eight of the EFL Cup and successfully progressed to the final round of the competition. On Saturday (14th), when the "Man City Derby" match against Manchester City is coming up, United's manager Tannhäuser opted for a conservative strategy, rotating eight starting players, including Dalozzi. However, the Portuguese international left the field with an injury after only 34 minutes on the pitch and went straight back to the dressing room, leaving his starting position for the match against City up in the air.
The exact location of this injury to Darroch is unclear. After the match, Tanhag tried to downplay the situation, "We need to wait for the results of the tests, but as far as I can judge, it's not a serious problem, and the rotation of him is also out of precaution." Daloji returned to the team with an injury after the World Cup in Qatar and only just returned last week, and Tanhag had planned to help him regain his form with two cup matches, but did not expect to suffer another injury.
Darroch, who has steadily occupied the regular right-wing position at Manchester United this season, could be replaced by Yun Bishaka if he fails to make a comeback in the crucial match against Manchester City. The England star was previously rumored to be on his way out of United in this month's transfer window, with his destination likely to be his parent club Crystal Palace. However, Darroch's injury could have a negative impact on the transfer.
