Several players have already been ruled out for a significant period of time, including Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Amad Diallo.

The likes of Raphael Varane, Mason Mount and Sergio Reguilon have also been sidelined due to various injury issues.

And according to The Daily Mail, the issue has become such a concern that United medics are prepared to investigate.

Club doctors are actively seeking to identify whether any patterns exist.

And if they manage to find any, they will look to develop ways to limit them in future.

Former Arsenal doctor Gary O’Driscoll joined Man Utd’s medical team as the head of sports medicine last month.

He is expected to play a part in the upcoming investigations.

The Red Devils currently sit 10th in the Premier League with just 12 points from eight games.

Last month, Ten Hag admitted that the club’s injury crisis has taken its toll.

He said: “One thing is true, from the start of last season I almost never started with the best starting XI, it was always something like an injury.

“But you have to deal with it and we always get the results, apart from the period we are in now. It’s a concern but that’s why we constructed the squad with depth, so we can deal with it. The squad can deal with it.

“Injuries always come in top football because we’re living on the edge and injuries are coming up.

“We analyse why things happen but we also have to deal with the facts and it’s always about the players available. We have a strong side and we have to get the best out of it.”
