Manchester United will travel to north London on Sunday, determined to avoid a third defeat to Tottenham Hotspur this season. However, Ruben Amorim’s squad will be missing several key players, particularly in defense and midfield.

United have managed to grind out important cup victories in recent weeks, but injuries could make this an uphill battle as they look to improve their Premier League form.

Here’s a full breakdown of the players who are unavailable for the match against Tottenham.

Manchester United’s Injury List Ahead of Tottenham Clash

Goalkeepers and Defenders

United’s biggest injury concerns lie in defense, with several key names ruled out.

Lisandro Martinez is out for the remainder of the season after suffering an ACL injury.
Luke Shaw remains unavailable due to a hamstring problem.
Jonny Evans has not featured since Boxing Day and is still sidelined.
Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton both missed the FA Cup match against Leicester City and remain doubtful for this fixture.

Midfielders

Manchester United’s midfield options are also limited due to multiple injuries.

Kobbie Mainoo is ruled out and is expected to be unavailable for several weeks.
Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer are both doubtful and could miss the trip to Tottenham.
Mason Mount remains a long-term absentee.

If Ugarte and Collyer are not fit in time, Ruben Amorim may have to rely on Casemiro or Christian Eriksen to partner Bruno Fernandes in midfield.

Forwards

United’s attacking options remain mostly intact, but they have still suffered a key loss.

Amad Diallo is reportedly dealing with a season-ending injury and will not feature.

Despite having no injuries among their strikers, Manchester United have struggled in attack, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee both failing to find consistent form. Their performances have been underwhelming enough for 17-year-old Chido Obi to train with the first team ahead of the trip to Tottenham.
