Overview
- High Court documents allege United failed to properly investigate pars fractures, did not impose rest, and did not refer Tuanzebe to a specialist after a January 2020 scan.
- Case papers state he was allowed to train and play from February to March 2020 instead of observing an estimated 12 weeks of rest to aid healing.
- The filing says the injury became chronic by July 2022 and a right-sided fracture developed, progressing to bilateral grade 4.
- The lawsuit alleges then club doctor Steve McNally showed no urgency to assess Tuanzebe in 2022 despite reported pain.
- Manchester United declined to comment, and Tuanzebe, now at Burnley, has started five consecutive Premier League matches as the claim moves through the courts.
