Manchester United have been dealt a significant blow with injuries to three key midfielders. Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Toby Collyer have all picked up knocks in training this week, leaving Rúben Amorim with a selection headache ahead of the crucial Tottenham Hotspur match.

The most serious injury appears to be that of Kobbie Mainoo. The young midfielder, who has been a bright spark for the Red Devils this season, is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks. This is a major setback for the teenager, who was beginning to establish himself as a first-team regular.

Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer are also doubts for the Tottenham match, with both players suffering knocks in training. Ugarte, in particular, has been a key player for United this season and his absence would be a huge blow to the team.

The impact on Manchester United

The injuries to Mainoo, Ugarte, and Collyer have left Manchester United with a depleted midfield. The club will now have to rely on fringe players or academy graduates to fill the void. This could have a significant impact on the team's chances of success in the coming weeks.

A blow to the squad

The loss of Mainoo, Ugarte, and Collyer is a major blow to Manchester United's squad depth. The club have already been hit by a number of injuries this season, and these latest setbacks will only add to their problems.

The road ahead

Manchester United will need to find a way to cope without their injured midfielders. The club may have to dip into the transfer market in January to strengthen their squad. However, with the January transfer window now closed, the club will have to rely on their existing players to get them through this difficult period.
