“He provided me all the assists when I scored seven goals in training yesterday. He’s the one player we’re missing here, and I can’t wait for him to return fully. If he gets back in time, I can still win the golden boots.” Joshua Zirkzee identifies the sole player’s injury impeding the team’s growth, as he pledged to make a difference once the player returns.

United begin their European campaign when they face the Dutch side at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, with only four players likely to miss the match. Erik ten Hag confirmed United would have the same squad available as they did for the weekend draw with Crystal Palace, meaning Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro are all set to miss out.

It is a refreshing change for a United side that was plagued by injuries last season and ahead of the Europa League opener, here is a round-up of all the latest injury news.

Tyrell Malacia – 19 October vs Brentford (H)



Malacia took part in a light team session last Friday after a lengthy lay-off. Ten Hag previously said the Dutch defender could return in two months, which could mean the home match against Brentford after the next international break.

Leny Yoro – 2 November vs Chelsea (H)

Yoro was ruled out for at least three months in the summer, so a return against Chelsea in November is still a best case scenario but it could take even longer.
