After giving the green light to letting both Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez leave this summer, you just knew the footballing gods would smite Manchester United with an injury crisis in the position they absolutely did not want.
The Red Devils have seen all three of their remaining forward options struck down with some form of injury over the past few weeks and months, and head into the Premier League clash against rivals Arsenal on Monday with some major doubts.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed both Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford may struggle to play against the Gunners, while the Norwegian also revealed he is wary of throwing Mason Greenwood into the “deep end”. And with injuries in other positions piling up too, United’s potential line-up against Unai Emery’s men makes for worrying reading.
Thankfully for Solskjaer and United, the Red Devils should be able to start four out of their first-choice back-five on Monday. Luke Shaw however remains a doubt with an injury sustained earlier in the campaign, and that will likely see Ashley Young continue with left-back duties.
In midfield, Scott McTominay has been an ever-present for United, starting every single Premier League game this season. Alongside him, Paul Pogba may have hoped to feature, but his return from injury against Rochdale did not go as planned. Solskjaer confirmed in his pre-match press conference on Friday that the Frenchman has some swelling in his ankle, and that should mean another chance for Nemanja Matic in the holding midfield role.
Further forward is where United’s current decline really makes for worrying reading. As the only real silver lining in the squad, Daniel James should continue on the left-hand side of attack, but options elsewhere are incredibly limited. Jesse Lingard ended his months-long hoodoo with an assist against Rochdale, but Juan Mata will likely keep his place after playing against West Ham last weekend.
The central trio of Matic, McTominay and Mata is so lacking in any sort of pace or dynamism it is mortifying to even look at.
And with doubts over both Rashford and Martial, Mason Greenwood could be handed his first Premier League start of the campaign. The Red Devils are having to rely on an unproven 17-year-old to potentially lead the line against one of their top-four rivals. And what’s perhaps most damning, is that it’s a mess of their own making. Monday night promises to be a very intriguing game indeed.
