Manchester United Injury Update Before Everton Match

Ahead of the Premier League clash against Everton on February 22, 2026, Manchester United is dealing with several injury concerns that could influence their team selection. Matthijs de Ligt remains sidelined due to a back injury sustained late last year and is not expected to return in time for the Everton fixture.

Midfielder Patrick Chinazaekper Dorgu is also unavailable, suffering from a hamstring problem, with recovery projected to extend into late March or early April. These injuries reduce options in the midfield, forcing adjustments in squad depth.

However, there is positive news regarding Mason Mount and Harry Maguire; Mount is close to returning after missing recent matches due to a minor knock, while Maguire has resumed training following a hamstring concern and has been declared fit. Manchester United, currently in fourth place, aims to maintain their position and secure an important result against Everton.
