Est. Return 1/10/2026
Off to AFCON
Tuanzebe is not available for the time being after being called up by DR of Congo for AFCON.
ANALYSIS
Tuanzebe is heading out of the club for around the next month, as the defender will serve in AFCON. He has yet to miss a start this campaign when an option, so this will force some changes, with Hjalmar Ekdal and Oliver Sonne to see more time while Tuanzebe is away. A return is likely to come mid-January, although that is still up in the air.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Old Trafford departure
Manchester United are expected to release Tuanzbe in the summer, according to The Manchester Evening News.
ANALYSIS
This shouldn't be a surprise, as Tuanzebe has failed to replicate an impressive youth career at the top level. He seems likely to continue his career in the Championship or overseas rather than in another Premier League team.
