Manchester United has confirmed that both Maino and Harry Maguire will be sidelined due to injuries for a few weeks. This news comes as a setback for the team, especially given the importance of both players in their respective roles.
Harry Maguire, as a seasoned defender and club captain, plays a crucial part in the team’s defensive structure, providing leadership and experience. His absence may lead to increased pressure on the backline, forcing other defenders to step up.
Mainoo, alongside centre-back Harry Maguire, was forced off during United’s goalless draw with Aston Villa prior to the international break. Ahead of their return to Premier League action against Brentford on Saturday, United issued a comprehensive fitness update, confirming Mainoo had joined Maguire on the sidelines.
