Injury Storm Hits Manchester United, Ten Hag Has Difficulty Finding Substitutes

If Shaw fails to recover from a hamstring injury in time for the trip to Wembley, Lindelof will be Ten Hag’s only centre-back option, leading to speculation Jones could make a rare competitive appearance.

The 31-year-old has been plagued by injuries over the last few years, and he has yet to feature under Ten Hag so far this season.

According to The Athletic, Jones will not be considered for selection in the FA Cup regardless of the many absences of Man United players. The former England international has had a serious relapse of his knee problem on the first day of pre-season training.

As a result, the defender was unable to take part in full training sessions throughout the season. He was in serious trouble after spending an entire summer improving his physical condition.
