“Looks like his season is over”: Man United academy star suffers devastating injury setback on loan

**Jack Moorhouse's Season Likely Over**: Man United Academy Star Suffers Devastating Injury While on Loan

Manchester United midfield sensation Jack Moorhouse has suffered a heartbreaking injury setback during his loan spell with Dundee. The young talent had previously been linked with other clubs, yet opted to join the Scottish side, believing it would be the most conducive environment for his growth. A lifelong Manchester United trainee since the age of eight, Moorhouse has had the opportunity to train with the first team on multiple occasions.

Having made a brief spell at League One side Leyton Orient in August 2025, the 20-year-old has only made two appearances for Dundee, facing Motherwell and Heart of Midlothian. However, in a devastating turn of events, Dundee boss Steven Pressley has announced that Moorhouse's season is effectively finished due to an ACL injury.

Pressley revealed, "Jack Moorhouse looks like he’s picked up an ACL injury in the bounce game we played last week." "It was a very innocuous challenge but he had swelling the following day. He’s had a scan back down in Manchester." "It very much looks like his season is over, which is devastating for Jack and for us." The manager expressed his disappointment, stating that he and the club had eagerly anticipated the impact Moorhouse could make in both the team and Scottish football.

This unfortunate injury marks the third ACL setback for Dundee within a span of two months, following the cases of Simon Murray and Fin Robertson. Pressley highlighted, "I have never known anything like it as a manager." "As a player at Rangers, we had a spell getting a few in quick succession one season." "But to get three in seven weeks is something I’ve never encountered before. It’s difficult to identify the reason behind it, and as a staff, we’ve sat down to discuss various aspects."

Pressley and his team are actively examining the situation, questioning whether they could have taken any preventive measures or if it's simply a case of bad luck. They are committed to exploring all possibilities to ensure such incidents are minimized in the future.

In the meantime, United will next face Tottenham Hotspur in a home game at Old Trafford on October 10th.
