The Congolese&nbsp;international has alleged &ldquo;clinical negligence&rdquo; related to medical advice he received during his time at Old Trafford. The 27-year-old had a career marred by injuries at United and now, the defender has lodged his claim at the High Court.<\/p><p>Tuanzebe left United in 2022 after his contract expired. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/football\/2025\/07\/14\/manchester-utd-defender-axel-tuanzebe-clincial-negligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Telegraph Sport<\/a>, he is seeking damages over what he believes was poor medical treatment that impacted his playing career.

However, injuries repeatedly disrupted his progress, restricting him to just 37 first-team appearances across six and a half years. His legal team has declined to comment on the specifics of the case.<\/p><p>Tuanzebe&rsquo;s injury issues began with a hip problem sustained during the warm-up for United&rsquo;s 1-1 draw with Liverpool in October 2019. Later that year, he suffered another setback in a Carabao Cup tie against Colchester United, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season. Further spells on the sidelines followed, including a foot injury and a lengthy absence during the 2022-23 campaign before a loan move to Stoke City.<\/p><p>After leaving United, Tuanzebe rebuilt his career at Ipswich Town, helping them earn promotion to the Premier League with over 40 appearances as a key figure at right-back. In an unfortunate twist, he also suffered a freak injury last October, requiring surgery after cutting his thumb during a household accident.<\/p><p>Despite the injury troubles, Tuanzebe&rsquo;s time at Ipswich showed glimpses of the talent United had once hoped he would fulfil. He departed following Ipswich&rsquo;s relegation last season and signed with Burnley last month ahead of their own return to the top flight.<\/p><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuanzebe\u2019s injury issues began with a hip problem sustained during the warm-up for United\u2019s 1-1 draw with Liverpool in October 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":73896,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5618,4038],"tags":[8564,3974,1182],"class_list":["post-73885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-premier-league","category-soccer","tag-axel-tuanzebe","tag-manchester-united","tag-premier-league"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Former Player Sues Manchester United for &#039;Clinical Negligence&#039;
