Confirmed: Up to six Manchester United players may miss Community Shield against Manchester City

Manchester United will kick off the season with a Community Shield clash against Manchester City at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Manchester United are at risk of a full-blown defensive crisis, even though the season hasn’t started yet.

Speaking on the injury crisis, Ten Hag said ahead of Saturday’s Community Shield clash: “Harry Maguire missed the game [vs Liverpool], as a precaution but is still a question mark for Saturday.

“So we have training, we have to see whether he is fit enough or not to be available.

“Victor [Lindelof] played but also he’s a question mark and also Azza [Aaron Wan-Bissaka] and Luke Shaw are both question marks, we have to assess them tomorrow [Friday].”

Leny Yoro, Rasmus Hojlund and Tyrell Malacia will also miss the game due to various injuries.
