United's main left-back Luke Shaw may have been reimbursed early this season as his recovery time after surgery has been longer than expected and he is likely to miss out on all the remaining games of the season.
The England international underwent surgery last week to remove metal bolts from his leg that were implanted after Luke Shaw broke his leg in 2015. He was shoveled off his calf during a Champions League match at Eindhoven and rested for 11 months before recovering.
Luke Shaw has been plagued by injuries this season, but during this month's international break, Luke Shaw felt a recurrence of an old injury but still played for England, only to return to Manchester United and quickly develop problems, only half-time in a 1-1 draw with Leicester City.
Manchester United interim manager Ronnick once hoped that Luke Shaw would return in two to three weeks, "he had a leg problem, which was a sequelae of surgery in 2015." Lonnick explains, "The team doctor told me they had decided to remove the metal bolts from his legs and that they needed to be removed. He will miss the next two or three weeks of play." But according to the British "Daily Telegraph", the recovery time of Carlos in England has been longer than initially expected. Once the 26-year-old England international misses the remaining seven games, it will be a big blow to Manchester United's correct Champions League place next season. Now, Lonnick will only have a left-back left-back for Brazil international Tres, but thanks to right-back Dioggu Dalo can also make a cameo appearance on the left.
United's already precarious defence has been hit by many injuries. In addition to luke Shaw's old injury recurrence, In midweek Manchester United's preparations for the Premier League, French centre-back Varane also did not participate, and he also hung up the exemption card due to injury in the last round. The French Iron Guard has made more than 30 league appearances at Real Madrid in the past three years, but since coming to Manchester United, he has only played 18 times so far, and the number of games he has played is certainly not more than 25.
United will host bottom-up side Norwich on Saturday, and the team's England right-back Max Aarons is one of the new wing-backs the club is rumored to be interested in, with Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, Barca and Roma also watching his development.
The 22-year-old Isens still has a two-year contract left and is likely to move if Norwich are relegated. With England 29 appearances this season, including 28 in the Premier League, the Canary could price him £20m. Also in Norwich's squad is Manchester United's academy wing-back Brandon Williams on loan, and United could recall Serena Williams, once known as the "new Elvin", or use him as a chip in exchange for Ahrens.
Also in the spotlight is Crystal Palace's Tyrick Mitchell, also a 22-year-old young full-back who has been recruited into Southgate's England squad but has less than Ahrens.
In Saturday's game, Ahrens, who missed last month's hamstring strain, is expected to return at Old Trafford, and United can watch his performance from the spot and make a decision.
The match against Norwich is United's best chance to score points in the near future, and if they can't all take three points against the deputy squad leader, the hopes of the top four of the season will be lost. Starting next week, the Red Devils will face a vicious succession of games, visiting title-winning side Liverpool and rivals Arsenal, followed by Chelsea.
