Manchester United have been hit with yet another crushing setback, and this one may be the most damaging blow of their season so far.
With a crucial Premier League clash against Everton fast approaching, shocking revelations from manager Ruben Amorim have sent panic through the fanbase and raised serious concerns inside the club.
According to reports from within Old Trafford — now backed by Amorim’s own comments — one of United’s most influential midfielders has picked up a hidden injury, leaving the squad severely weakened at the worst possible moment.
Amorim, who is usually composed when addressing the media, did not hide his frustration or disappointment.
Before speaking to journalists, he reportedly admitted to club officials that his team could be heading into the Everton match with little hope.
His supposed reaction was stark and alarming: “There’s no way we can beat Everton. Too many of our important players are unavailable.
Our Premier League hopes are disappearing before they’ve even begun.” The honesty in his words shocked those present and has now rattled supporters everywhere.
Although the club has not issued a formal statement regarding the injury, sources say the midfielder first experienced discomfort during a training session last week.
Believing it was nothing serious, he tried to continue without informing the medical staff. Unfortunately, the problem escalated.
Now, with the Everton fixture just around the corner, examinations have confirmed that the injury is significant enough to rule him out completely. Amorim has already accepted that he will not feature — a revelation that has caused major concern in Carrington.
The absence of this midfielder creates a huge tactical void. He is not only a guaranteed starter but also the heartbeat of United’s midfield — the player responsible for dictating play, building attacks, and maintaining balance.
Removing him from the equation disrupts United’s rhythm and structure, something Amorim is painfully aware of. His admission reflects the growing fear within the team that they may not have enough quality available to cope with Everton’s intensity.
To make matters worse, this situation adds to an already overwhelming list of injured players. United are currently dealing with a defender struggling with a groin issue, a forward recovering from muscle fatigue, a midfielder battling ongoing ankle problems, and a winger still not fully over a hamstring injury.
This new setback piles more pressure onto a squad already stretched thin, threatening to push them beyond their limit.
Everton, meanwhile, arrive in confident form. Playing at Goodison Park is already one of the Premier League’s toughest tasks, but doing so with a depleted squad turns it into a near-impossible challenge.
With United’s lineup weakened, Everton supporters have wasted no time celebrating the news, taking to social media to mock their opponents and predict an easy win.
Analysts across the football world agree: Manchester United are heading into this match under severe disadvantage.
With so many key players unavailable and their manager openly expressing concern, United’s chances look grim. Unless something dramatic changes, they may be walking into a battle they are not prepared to fight.
