Overview
- Tuanzebe lodged a High Court claim in July 2025, with detailed allegations published this week after Sky News reviewed the filings.
- He says Manchester United let him train and play from February to March 2020 instead of prescribing prolonged rest and failed to refer him to a sports spinal surgeon.
- The filing outlines a left-sided pars fracture in January 2020 that became chronic by July 2022, when a right-sided fracture also developed, with symptoms progressing to bilateral grade 4.
- The defender seeks damages exceeding £1,000,000 for lost earnings and claims he cannot play without restriction or impediment.
- Manchester United declined to comment; Tuanzebe spent 17 years at the club, left in 2023, and now plays for Burnley.
