Manchester United’s hopes for the FA Cup final against rivals Manchester City hang in the balance as manager Erik ten Hag provides a mixed bag of updates on the fitness of key players Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.
Maguire, who has been sidelined due to injury, stands a fair chance of making a return for the much-anticipated final at Wembley. However, Shaw’s situation appears more uncertain after a relapse setback, reducing his chances of featuring in the crucial match.
Despite their absence in the last Premier League fixture against Brighton, both players might still be in contention for the FA Cup showdown. Ten Hag expressed optimism regarding Maguire’s availability while acknowledging the complexity of Shaw’s situation.
The injuries have been a recurring issue for Manchester United throughout the season, affecting their defensive stability and overall performance. With the FA Cup final looming, the outcome could significantly impact Ten Hag’s tenure at the club.
Next up for Manchester United is a clash with Brighton on May 19 before gearing up for the Manchester Derby in the FA Cup final on May 25. Fans await anxiously to see if Maguire and Shaw will make a comeback to bolster the team’s chances against their arch-rivals.
