Man United injury, suspension news vs. Real Sociedad: Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo updates

Manchester United return to action on Thursday night when they square off against Real Sociedad in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

Ruben Amorim will need to rouse his side after the Red Devils were eliminated from the FA Cup by Fulham via a penalty shootout on Sunday.

As a result, this leaves United needing to place a considerable amount of focus on winning this competition to earn European qualification for 2025-26, a consequence of occupying 14th position in the Premier League standings.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of the first game of their double-header with La Real, who sit in ninth place in the La Liga table.

Luke Shaw

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: Unknown

Shaw has only made three appearances this season due to ongoing injury problems and the England international recently had a setback in his recovery from his latest issue; a return date for the 29-year-old is therefore still unclear.

Kobbie Mainoo

Status: Out Type of injury: Calf Possible return date: April 1 (vs. Nottingham Forest)

Mainoo picked up a calf injury in training last month and the England international is now expected to be missing until the start of April in what is a major blow for the Red Devils at an important stage of the campaign.

Amorim was dealt another injury blow on Sunday when Maguire was withdrawn prior to extra time. After the game, the Portuguese suggested that the centre-back would need to be assessed before a decision is made on his fitness.
