Axel Tuanzebe suing Manchester United for £1m over alleged medical negligence | OneFootball

Axel Tuanzebe is reportedly seeking £1 million in damages from Manchester United for alleged ‘clinical negligence’ in relation to ‘medical advice’ he received. 

Tuanzebe joined United as an eight-year old and spent 17 years at the club. 

After impressing with his performances for the reserve teams, the centre-back earned his senior debut in January 2017. 

He made 37 senior appearances for the Red Devils, but his time at Old Trafford was marred by a series of injuries, including a season ending one sustained in December 2019. 

The Congolese left the club to join Ipswich Town in 2023, but after a two-year spell signed for Burnley in the summer. 

It emerged in July that Tuanzebe filed a lawsuit against United for allegedly harming his career. 

Sky News has now revealed the details of the player’s allegations. 

The 27-year-old is claiming the club failed to treat an injury ‘promptly’ and ‘appropriately’, leaving him with more serious long-term issues. 

He says he cannot play ‘without restriction or impediment’ due to the impact of the original injury. 

The defender is seeking more than £1m in damages from his former employers. 

Tuanzebe joined Burnley in the summer following the expiry of his contract with Ipswich. 

He missed the start of the season due to a muscular issue, but recovered to make seven appearances in the Premier League and Carabao Cup.
