Manchester United is facing significant midfield challenges ahead of their Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, February 16, 2025. Key midfielders Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Toby Collyer are all doubtful due to injuries sustained during training sessions. Mainoo is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, while Ugarte and Collyer have a slim chance of being fit in time for the match. citeturn0news16
In response to these setbacks, manager Ruben Amorim has promoted 19-year-old Jack Moorhouse to the first team. Moorhouse has been impressive in the Under-21 squad, scoring three goals in seven Premier League 2 appearances this season. Amorim personally observed Moorhouse’s performance during a 5-1 victory over Southampton in December and has decided to include him in the senior squad for the upcoming fixture against Tottenham. citeturn0news15
