Manchester United are seven fixtures into the 2026/27 campaign, and with just two wins across all competitions, the Reds haven't started the campaign well.

After an opening-weekend Premier League loss to Hull City, United secured a 5-2 home victory over Ipswich Town, thanks to a Bruno Fernandes hat-trick. However, after a 4-0 win over Sabah FK in the Champions League, the side's only other win this season, there is a lot of discontent.

After a 2-2 draw against Everton following the win over Ipswich, United lost back-to-back home games against Manchester City and Brighton, with the latter seeing the club knocked out of the Carabao Cup after blowing an early 2-0 lead.

The final tie before the international break saw Michael Carrick's men draw 1-1 against Fulham, who have yet to win a league game this season, with Matheus Cunha's last-minute strike rescuing a point after a comical own goal by Lisandro Martínez.

Below is a round-up of United's latest injury news, including updates on Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo.

What happened: Marcus Rashford was substituted in the 77th minute against Fulham after a poor display.

Possible return date: Saturday, 10 October vs Tottenham Hotspur. 

What happened: Kobbie Mainoo was withdrawn from the tie against Fulham in the 80th minute, much to the surprise of fans.
