Anyone with any knowledge of this, how credible Tuanzebe's case is?
If this is credible, not a good look for the club which has had issues with the medical department in other cases such as Malacia.
Tuanzebe Lawsuit Against Man Utd
12 Nov 2025 16:27:17
Tuanzebe’s case appears credible, its backed by detailed medical records and expert opinion suggesting United failed to diagnose and treat his spinal fractures properly. The lawsuit claims this led to chronic injury and reduced career potential. You could argue the player knew his limits and continued to play; however, that does not absolve the club of its duty of care.
Players often push through pain or normalize discomfort, especially under competitive pressure, which is why medical staff are expected to intervene and prevent long-term harm even when the player is willing.

It says words like 'had the player been appropriately rested'.
Just my opinion of course, but I really liked Tuanzebe as a player and really thought we had a special player when he was coming through. Here's the but.
But he never really kicked on, lacking the mental attributes to success at the highest level. Without fact checking this, I don't think he played that often for us to argue he needed to be rested.
Tough one for UTD, the figure which we can assume is somewhere between 1-2m is small enough to just pay him to go away, but setting precedents like this are often better to be fought and avoid an onslaught of bitter folk knocking on your door because they failed mentally.
I imagine, even once we have seen the back of the likes of Sancho, Rashford etc, UTD will always be looking over their shoulder for crap like this from players like that.

If there is any substance to his claim then Utd should pay up without going to court. Lawyers fees will add another substantial amount and if proven guilty the clubs reputation suffers too.

Medical negligence claims are often no win no fee and United are insured. If the insurers felt they were at risk they'd have already settled.
