Man United injury, suspension news vs. Real Sociedad: Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo updates

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's injury and suspension news ahead of the first leg of the Europa League last-16 tie against Real Sociedad.
Sports Mole

Manchester United return to action on Thursday night when they square off against Real Sociedad in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

Ruben Amorim will need to rouse his side after the Red Devils were eliminated from the FA Cup by Fulham via a penalty shootout on Sunday.

As a result, this leaves United needing to place a considerable amount of focus on winning this competition to earn European qualification for 2025-26, a consequence of occupying 14th position in the Premier League standings.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of the first game of their double-header with La Real, who sit in ninth place in the La Liga table.


Lisandro Martinez

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Martinez suffered a severe knee injury during Man United's Premier League match against Crystal Palace on February 2, and the Argentina international, who has undergone an operation, is now expected to be on the sidelines for the remainder of 2025.


Luke Shaw

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown

Shaw has only made three appearances this season due to ongoing injury problems, and the England international recently had a setback in his recovery from his latest issue; a return date for the 29-year-old is therefore still unclear.


Mason Mount

Status: Out
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: Unknown

Mount was again absent against Spurs due to the problem which forced him off the field against Manchester City in the Manchester derby in December, and the Englishman is still not close to making his return.


Jonny Evans

Status: Out
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: Unknown

Experienced centre-back Evans is not currently available for selection due to a muscular problem.


Altay Bayindir

Status: Out
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: Unknown

Bayindir has missed Man United's last four matches due to an unspecified issue, and the Turkey international will again be sidelined for the contest with Fulham.


Tom Heaton

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: Unknown

Heaton has missed Man United's last four matches due to an unspecified issue, and the club's number three goalkeeper remains unavailable for selection.


Kobbie Mainoo

Status: Out
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: April 1 (vs. Nottingham Forest)

Mainoo picked up a calf injury in training last month, and the England international is now expected to be missing until the start of April in what is a major blow for the Red Devils at an important stage of the campaign.


Amad Diallo

Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: Unknown

Amad suffered an ankle injury during a training session last week, and the Ivory Coast international is set to miss the remainder of the season, with the attacker now working to return to training in July.


Toby Collyer

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: Unknown

Collyer has missed Man United's last four matches due to a knock that he sustained in training, and the midfielder is still not available to feature for the Red Devils.


Harry Maguire

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Unknown
Possible return date: March 6 (vs. Real Sociedad)

Amorim was dealt another injury blow on Sunday when Maguire was withdrawn prior to extra time. After the game, the Portuguese suggested that the centre-back would need to be assessed before a decision is made on his fitness.


MANCHESTER UNITED'S SUSPENSION LIST

Although Patrick Dorgu has two matches remaining on his ban for domestic fixtures, the Denmark international is available for selection on Thursday.
