Manchester United are looking to bounce back from their recent 1-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur as they gear up for their upcoming clash against Everton at Goodison Park. Ahead of the match, the Red Devils have received a timely boost with the return of several key first-team players from injury, including the impressive summer signing Manuel Ugarte.
Manchester United Boosted by Trio’s Fitness Ahead of Everton Encounter
Ugarte, Yoro, and Eriksen Available for Selection
The Athletic has reported that Manuel Ugarte, Leny Yoro, and experienced midfielder Christian Eriksen are all fit and available for selection for Manchester United’s trip to Everton. This is a significant boost for manager Ruben Amorim, who has been dealing with an injury-ravaged squad in recent weeks.
Amorim provided a positive update on the trio’s fitness, stating: “We did not lose players, but we have recovered some. With Chris (Eriksen) it was a misunderstanding (over his heart issue); he is healthy, he is ready to play for many years at a high level. I felt that the week is very good. I see some things in training and sometimes it is hard to pass that to the game, but tomorrow is another opportunity to show a better performance.”
Ugarte, in particular, has been a standout performer for the Red Devils this season, with the Uruguayan midfielder being hailed as “essential” earlier in the campaign. The 22-year-old has made 18 Premier League appearances so far, including an impressive display in the 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.
Injury Concerns Remain for Manchester United
Despite the positive news on the fitness of Ugarte, Yoro, and Eriksen, Amorim is still without several key players for the Everton clash:
- Amad Diallo is reportedly out for the rest of the season after sustaining an injury in training.
- Kobbie Mainoo and Toby Collyer are also still sidelined due to their respective injuries.
- Luke Shaw is taking a long time to recover from his injury, while Lisandro Martinez is ruled out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury suffered in the 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
While the return of Ugarte, Yoro, and Eriksen is a welcome boost, Manchester United will still be missing several important players for the Everton match. Amorim will need to find a way to overcome these injury challenges and guide his team to a much-needed victory at Goodison Park.
Call to Action: With the return of key players and the team’s determination to get back to winning ways, Manchester United fans can look forward to a crucial encounter against Everton. Stay tuned for the latest updates and be sure to support the Red Devils as they aim to climb the Premier League table.
