Former Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe has dragged The Red Devils to court over alleged negligent medical advice.

Axel Tuanzebe officially filed his legal claim against Manchester United on July 9.He claims the club gave him medical advice that could have harmed him.

According to sources, the case of the injury which earned the "harmful medical" advice happened somewhere around July 2022.Filed under the “Clinical Negligence – Part 7 Claim – Medical Advice”, the case is considered a high-value claim, estimated to exceed £1 million.

Tuanzebe was out for 195 days in his final season at the club before he was loaned to Stoke in January 2023, where he made just five appearances.

Before his exit from Man Utd in the summer of 2023 to Ipswich following his contract expiry, he was sidelined for 195 days during his final season at Old Trafford.

He began his journey with Man Utd as a boy, rising through the youth team to the senior team, where he made 37 appearances.

His stint at Man Utd was plagued with injuries, with the first being a hip injury he suffered during training in 2019 ahead of a game with Liverpool.

He was then ruled out for the rest of the season after injuring himself in a Carabao Cup victory over Colchester United that December.

Some outlets have reported that the injuries involved reportedly include hip, ankle, and hamstring issues.

He was loaned to Aston Villa thrice—2018, 2019, and 2021—and also played for Napoli in 2022.

Tuanzebe’s lawyers, Simons Muirhead Burton, and United have so far declined to comment on the issue.
