United are far from alone in being without multiple crucial players for much of the campaign but Erik ten Hag has seen his side decimated. Though Jadon Sancho's and Antony's absences weren't injury-related, United have been without up to 12 players at points this season. "Despite our previous feedbacks, they have now recommended for next season: longer games, more intensity, and less emotions to be shown by players.”So buckle in. The physical demands in a single match have never been higher and the number of games just keeps going up, up and up. Football is going the exact same way but this time the health of real people is on the line.
