MANCHESTER UNITED fans are fuming at the international break again after another star suffered injury.
And some were even blasting former interim boss Ralf Rangnick after the now Austria manager confirmed midfielder Marcel Sabitzer, 29, has a knee problem.
The Red Devils ended their six-year trophy drought last month as they beat Newcastle to lift the Carabao Cup.
They are also pushing for two more trophies, with a Europa League quarter final against Sevilla on the horizon as well as an FA Cup semi with Brighton.
And they are still aiming to secure a top-four finish – but Erik ten Hag’s squad numbers seem to be dwindling by the day for the run-in.
Marcus Rashford pulled out of the England squad due to injury before heading to New York for a break.

Midfielder Casemiro is serving a four-match domestic ban while Christian Eriksen and Alejandro Garnacho are both long-term absentees.
Striker Anthony Martial has suffered an injury-blighted campaign, last appearing in January, and now on-loan ace Sabitzer could also be set for a spell on the sidelines with a knee issue as United prepare to face high-flying Newcastle on Sunday.
On Sabitzer, who came off after scoring twice in the 4-1 win over Azerbaijan last week, Rangnick said ahead of the Euro qualifier with Estonia: “Of course, we hope that Marcel will do well, especially after that first game in Linz.
“At the moment, I’m optimistic that it can work but, at the end of the day, it’s also a question of whether Marcel feels ready for it himself.”
