Europa League: Amorim to be Without 11 Players for Sociedad vs Man Utd Clash

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is facing a massive squad crisis ahead of their crucial Europa League showdown against Real Sociedad on Thursday night. And let me tell you, it’s not looking pretty.

After crashing out of the FA Cup at the hands of Fulham last Sunday (ouch!), the Europa League is now United’s only shot at a trophy this season. But with a growing injury list, Amorim’s squad is stretched thinner than ever.

Before the Fulham defeat, United were already missing nine key players. The likes of Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton, Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Toby Collyer, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, and Amad Diallo were all sidelined. Now, it seems the injury curse isn’t done yet.

Harry Maguire, who limped off during that FA Cup loss, could add to the list. His availability remains uncertain, and Amorim is sweating on the medical team’s update and losing an experienced defender like Maguire at such a crucial moment. That’s rough.

And just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, here’s another blow. Youngster Chido Obi-Martin, who turned heads with his impressive cameo against Fulham, won’t be able to step up. Why? He’s not registered for the Europa League. Talk about bad timing!

So, yeah, United are in a real pickle. With 11 players possibly out, Amorim has some serious lineup puzzles to solve.
