Ruben Amorim confirms injuries for Man United ahead of FA Cup clash

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed that goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will miss the upcoming FA Cup match against Leicester City due to injury, leaving Andre Onana as the likely starter. In light of this, Amorim emphasized the need for the club to be cautious with transfers, citing past mistakes as a reason for careful recruitment during the January transfer window, which saw Marcus Rashford and others leave on loan while only two young players were signed. He acknowledged the urgency of improving results after a disappointing loss to Crystal Palace, stating that the pressure is on to perform well in the cup. Additionally, United will be without Lisandro Martinez for the remainder of the season due to a cruciate ligament injury, which presents a significant challenge for the team's defense. Amorim expressed concern over Martinez's absence, highlighting the player's importance both defensively and in attack. Luke Shaw will also be sidelined for the match, necessitating a reassessment of the squad's defensive strategies.
