Injuries have had a big bearing on Man United's season but their issues with such crises date back to Sir Alex Ferguson's era.
It was during Sir Alex Ferguson's final season that Manchester United held a press conference to announce Toshiba as its official medical systems partner.
Journalists Mark Ogden and Paul Hetherington were banned for reporting Ferdinand's absence at Goodison Park ahead of the Monday evening kick-off. Everton exploited United's air sickness and Marouane Fellaini nodded in the only goal.READ MORE: United have made a key change with contracts to put players on trial
Injuries forced Mourinho to promote Scott McTominay to the United squad in April 2017 and four players were on crutches for the Europa League final the following month. United upset Paris Saint-Germain in 2019 with nine walking wounded back in Manchester. A winter World Cup interrupted the 2022-23 season that lasted more than ten months for established international players. Bruno Fernandes played 70 games for club and country.
As strong as United's squad may look at Selhurst Park on Monday evening, this is a season where they have hitherto recorded 61 separate cases of injury and illness that have caused a player to miss a match. Scott McTominay could be the 62nd but clarified his knee injury was "nothing serious, just hyperextension" and hoped to be back "soon".
Injured or unwell United players have missed a combined 353 matches and counting in 2023-24. Nine players are currently sidelined but Martinez, Shaw, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof are expected to play again this month.
