Fernandes battles through pain as Dorgu suffers injury blow

Bruno Fernandes is reportedly playing through the pain barrier while on international duty with Portugal, having missed their recent Nations League win over Norway. This comes as another player, Patrick Dorgu, sustained an injury with Denmark and has returned to the club for further assessment.

• Fernandes is said to have taken several heavy knocks earlier this season and has been managing discomfort since.
• The club is in regular contact with the Portugal national team to monitor Fernandes' condition as he continues to play through the pain.
• Dorgu picked up a hamstring injury while representing Denmark, necessitating his return to Carrington for tests.
• Midfielder Carlos Baleba is expected to be unleashed and make a 'dominant' impact in the coming weeks, potentially against Spurs after the international break.
• Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) responded to the verdict regarding Manchester City's financial charges, calling the situation 'cheating'.
