Former Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe is taking legal action against the club, accusing them of "medical negligence" over an injury he suffered during his final year there. The case was filed last week in the high court, though details are still emerging. Meanwhile, in unrelated news, Darren Fletcher has been named lead coach of United’s U-18s—a small bright spot in a messy situation for the club.

Editor’s Note: Player-club disputes over medical care aren’t new, but they’re rarely this public. If Tuanzebe’s claims gain traction, it could spark wider scrutiny of how big clubs handle player injuries—especially when careers are on the line. For United, it’s another off-field headache in a season already full of them.
