Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has provided a concerning update on midfielder Carlos Baleba's hamstring injury, stating that the problem "doesn't look great" ahead of the club's upcoming fixtures.

Carrick spoke to reporters on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, indicating that the extent of Baleba's injury is still being assessed but early signs are not positive.

The 20-year-old Cameroonian international has been a regular feature in United's midfield this season, and his potential absence would be a significant blow to Carrick's plans.

Further scans are expected to determine the exact recovery timeline, with the club likely to issue an official statement in the coming days.
