Tuangzev joined the Manchester United youth team in 2005 when he was eight years old and grew up in the academy until 2015. After signing a first-team contract in 2015, he was loaned to Aston Villa, Napoli and Stoke City. However, he eventually moved to Ipswich Town in 2023 without getting a place at Manchester United and wore a Burnley uniform ahead of this season.
During his time at Manchester United, Tuangzev was considered a promising player who could not break his eggs due to injuries. The Daily Mail, a British daily newspaper, said 'Tuanzev had frequent injuries during his time at Manchester United. In December 2019, he was out for the season due to injury against Colchester United.
Tuangzev claims his injury is due to the fault of Manchester United's medical team. According to Sky Sports' complaint filed with the British High Court, Tuangzev pointed out that the inadequate handling of Manchester United's medical staff during the January 2020 fracture of the left vertebrae led to the aftereffects. On that basis, he cited the same injury in July 2022 and claimed that the Manchester United medical team did not give them adequate time to recover, nor did they make specialist referrals to treat the injuryThe plaintiff also claimed that if an appropriate treatment plan had been established, the aftereffects could have been avoided, and that he could have grown unrestricted and become a top-notch player, he said. He added that 'Manchester United declined to comment on the lawsuit. It is known that the amount of damages that Tuangzev filed with Manchester United is about 1 million pounds (about 1.9 billion won).
It is common for players and clubs to have disagreements over injuries. Although the team's medical team makes the primary judgment, it is common to measure the exact level of injury and rehabilitation period through specialist treatment. If the medical team's missed part in determining the degree of injury is found to be true, as Tuangzev claims, Manchester United will not be able to avoid criticism.
