In the last round of the Premier League match against Manchester City, Manchester United's central midfielder, Monty, was unlucky to be injured after only 13 minutes of action. United leader Ruben Emolian recently confirmed that the 25-year-old England international will have to rest for a few weeks. Monty has missed 37 games due to injury in the last year and a half since joining United, a figure that represents almost half of the total number of games he has missed in his four-year career.
Rubin Emolian, who has promised strong support for Monty since taking over the United coaching reins, expressed his helplessness over his favorite's injury, "Monty will be out for a few weeks and we will do everything possible to help him recover as soon as possible. Faced with the plight of players with long-term injuries, he has worked extremely hard to overcome his injuries."
Monty expressed his frustration in a social media post, "It's hard to put our frustration into words at this moment. Everyone can relate to seeing the images of my injury. United fans may not fully understand me, but I promise that I will never give up or lose faith and I will give my best to get through this tough time until I reach my goal."
Monty joined United from Chelsea in July 2023 for a transfer fee of £60 million (HK$590 million) and wore the highly coveted "Legend No. 7" shirt. However, due to frequent injuries, he has missed 37 games for United so far. During his four years at Chelsea, he only missed 18 games due to injuries. Therefore, some netizens say that Monty has broken the "No. 7 curse", and if he wants to return to the peak of his career, perhaps changing his jersey number is a good choice.
