A former Manchester United star is pushing ahead with a £1million lawsuit as he sues the club for alleged 'clinical negligence' in relation to 'medical advice’ he received.

Axel Tuanzebe, who came up through Manchester United’s academy, lodged a claim with the High Court back in July.

Tuanzebe’s time at Old Trafford was ridden with injury and, in court documents seen by Sky News, it is alleged that the defender is no longer capable of playing ‘without restriction or impediment’.

The defender, who now plays for Premier League side Burnley, ‘expects to recover damages in excess of £1,000,000’ should he win the case against United.
