Quick Summary

Manchester United face injury concerns for two players, Halil Dorgu and Bruno Fernandes, during international matches. Dorgu, a 21-year-old attacker who has made six appearances for Manchester United this season, suffered a hamstring injury while playing for Denmark and will return to the club early. Portugal’s coach Jorge Jesus revealed that Fernandes has been dealing with an unspecified issue for several games and is uncertain about his availability for upcoming matches. Manager Michael Carrick already manages a team impacted by injuries and will hope these new setbacks are not severe as his squad faces crucial fixtures against Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, Leeds, Como, Bournemouth, and Chelsea in October.

The nature and severity of his hamstring injury are not yet clear, though he will return to Manchester United for assessment. This adds to the club's existing injuries: Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo, Benjamin Sesko, Amad Diallo, and Matthijs de Ligt are all out with various issues. Bruno Fernandes, who also got injured while playing for Portugal against Wales, might miss more matches despite Portugal's hope he will be fit for their upcoming games against Denmark and Norway.
