manchester united They have received a big boost from injuries before a crucial match european league clash against FC Porto since Kobbie Mainoo has traveled with the squad to play this match.
The 19-year-old was a big doubt for this match as he was substituted before half-time last time against Tottenham Hotspur in the first division.
Upon leaving the field, the youngster apparently noted that he had suffered a hamstring problem and it was feared he would be sidelined for a few weeks as a result.
But fortunately, his problem is nothing serious and he was photographed training with the entire team before this match. He has even traveled with the squad to play against Porto.
After coming through the Red Devils' youth system, Mainoo has already established himself as a key player in Ten Hag's starting eleven at this tender age.
Man Utd get big injury boost
Having demonstrated his qualities in the Premier League, the midfielder has also secured a place in the England team. He played a key role in the Three Lions' run to the European Championship final this summer.
Therefore, his absence would have created a huge void in Manchester United's midfield so his availability would give some relief to Erik ten Hag.
The game against Porto will be huge for United, as anything less than a win in this match could put Ten Hag in danger of being sacked. After a disappointing campaign last season, Man Utd have made a terrible start to this season and the unfortunate 3-0 defeat against Spurs has now put the Dutch manager on a tightrope.
He has reportedly been given two more games to save his job and if his team cannot bounce back immediately, United could sack him before the international break.
The Old Trafford club is currently 13th in the Premier League standings with seven points from six games. They also started the Europa League campaign poorly, only managing to come away with a point in their opening match against FC Twente last weekend.
