Altay Bayindir

Starting with the man who’s only made one appearance this season, goalkeeper Altay Bayindir should be ready again for this weekend’s trip to the capital. Having played more for his country than his club since joining United from Fenerbahce in September, the 25-year-old was ruled out of Turkey’s double-header this month as they prepare for Euro 2024.

United said ahead of the Liverpool clash that he’d only miss “around two weeks” of football, so we expect him to be back on the bench at Brentford.

Expected return: Brentford [A] Saturday, March 30

Harry Maguire

Having left the England camp after suffering an injury against Brazil last Saturday, we’re awaiting an update from United on Harry Maguire’s situation. It was said that the defender would undergo scans to assess the extent of the issue which forced him to miss England 2-2 draw with Belgium on Tuesday.

Expected return: Unknown

Expected return: Next season

Luke Shaw

The man Malacia would be challenging for left-back, Luke Shaw, is also at risk of not featuring until the 2024-25 campaign – at least for United. The 28-year-old could still play for England at the European Championships, but even that would be a surprise given his last appearance came in February and Ten Hag has given no indication that his return is imminent.

After revealing the bad news on Malacia, the Red Devils boss also said: “I think it’s the same [for Shaw], maybe for the last games of the season, but we don’t expect him back this or next month.”

Expected return: May/June

Casemiro

Although United haven’t issued an update on Casemiro, the Brazilian midfielder was absent for the Liverpool game and missed his country’s friendlies against England and Spain. Having already missed 17 games this season and with links of a move to Saudi Arabia not going away, doubts are growing over his future at Old Trafford.

Judging by fact that we’ve heard nothing from United, however, it suggests Casemiro’s latest injury isn’t serious. There’ve been reports that the 32-year-old has suffered a reoccurrence of a hamstring issue, something which United will be keen to keep on top of as their campaign reaches its climax.

Expected return: April
