Tuesday, July 15, 2025 - Former Manchester United defender, Axel Tuanzebe has filed a
clinical negligence lawsuit against the club, claiming he received improper
medical advice during his time at Old Trafford.
According to reports from Sky Sports, Tuanzebe lodged the
claim on July 9, alleging negligence tied to medical decisions that impacted
his career.
The 27-year-old, who left United two years ago after his
contract expired, came through the club’s youth system and made 37 appearances
for the first team. However, his progress was repeatedly hampered by injuries.
His injury troubles began in 2019 with a hip problem
sustained during the warm-up before a high-profile clash against Liverpool.
Later that year, he suffered another setback in a Carabao Cup victory over
Colchester United, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
The following campaign started with a foot injury, and more
fitness issues meant he didn’t return to full training until January 2023. Soon
after, he was loaned to Stoke City in an effort to regain match sharpness.
Despite these struggles, Tuanzebe rebuilt his career with
Ipswich Town, where he became a key player, making over 40 appearances and
helping the club secure promotion to the Premier League in the 2023/24 season.
Last month, he joined Burnley on a free transfer after rejecting a contract
extension at Ipswich.
