Manchester United is set to be without injured defender Harry Maguire for the rest of October amid the team’s struggles in 14th place in the English Premier League.

Harry Maguire will be sidelined for “a few weeks” with the injury he picked up on Sunday. The Manchester United defender had to be helped off the pitch late on in the first half of Sunday’s draw against Aston Villa.

Harry Maguire's knee injury, sustained against Aston Villa, adds to Manchester United's defensive woes, ruling him out for several weeks. His absence further compounds Erik ten Hag's struggles in an already underperforming season.
