Evening Standard: Six Man Utd players injured, Maguire could play against Liverpool

Manchester United enter the international break with new injury concerns and uncertainty surrounding the manager's future. After a 4-4 home draw against Aston Villa, Manchester United are deep in the Premier League relegation zone, and Carrick is on the verge of being sacked.

Maguire shook off a minor injury before the match against Aston Villa and started, but was substituted at halftime due to a back problem.

The center-back appeared to be limping when he was substituted in Tuesday's 3-2 Champions League victory over Roma, but still started at Old Trafford five days later.

Carrick told Manchester United TV after the match: "Maguire has a bad back. He had a severe back spasm about 10 to 15 minutes before halftime.

"I don't know how serious it is, but he should have plenty of time to recover during the international break."

Expected return date: Sunday, November 22, away against Liverpool

This summer's new signing waited a long time for his debut due to an injury when he joined, but performed well when he finally played.

However, Carlos Baleba pulled his hamstring last week against Roma and will now be out for several weeks.

Carrick said when discussing his condition on Friday: "We don't fully know the extent of Carlos's injury yet, but he will be out for a few more weeks.

"He certainly won't make it this week, nor will he make it for the international break, so we'll have to wait a bit longer."

Rashford remains sidelined with a persistent hip injury, having not returned since the 0-2 loss to Atletico Madrid last month.

It was hoped that Rashford would be fit for the match against Villa, but he will now use the international break to continue his recovery.

Carrick previously said about Rashford's injury: "Marcus, we can only take his recovery day by day."

Expected return date: Sunday, November 22, away against Liverpool

Luke Shaw remains out with a muscle problem sustained against Tottenham in October.

The left-back has not yet returned to first-team training.

Carrick said when asked about his situation last week: "Luke definitely won't be back this week, and it's unlikely he'll recover by then."

Expected return date: Sunday, November 22, away against Liverpool

Benjamin Šeško will not be able to return until 2027 at the earliest due to an ongoing shin injury.

The Slovenian striker's debut season was cut short by injury, and although he has played a few games this season, he will be out for the remainder of the year.

Carrick said in early November: "We don't fully know how long he will be out yet, but unfortunately, it will be quite a long time.

"I feel for Ben. He had this problem at the end of last season, and we've been looking after him, trying to give him more recovery time, and then unfortunately, he encountered this problem again at the start of this season.

"So, we have to make the best decision for Ben, and unfortunately, he will have to rest on the sidelines for a while."

Ugarte, the Uruguayan international, suffered an ACL tear at the World Cup and will miss most of this season.
