According to the news reported by the British local media "Daily Mail", Tuanzebe (Duane Sibi), who currently plays for Burnley (Cantonese translation: Burnley), is currently filing a lawsuit of more than 1 million pounds against Manchester United, accusing his former club Manchester United of "medical negligence" in terms of medical advice.

Axel Tuanzebe, a player who made his debut in the Manchester United youth team, experienced many injuries while playing for his former club Manchester United, including ending the season early in the 2019/20 season after being injured in December. This injury has also become the focus of his lawsuit.

According to the details of the lawsuit, Tuanzebe was judged to have suffered a left vertebral arch fracture and a stress fracture injury to his lower spine, which caused him to feel significant pain and discomfort. The defender suffered the same injury to the right side of his lumbar spine again in July 2022, which made his injury more complicated. He accused Manchester United's medical team of not entrusting a professional sports spine surgeon to a professional sports spine surgeon based on the condition of the injury, nor giving him enough rest time to recover from the injury, causing the injury to become a chronic disease and affecting his career development and income.

Tuanzebe will file a lawsuit with the local High Court in July this year. It is understood that if Tuanzebe wins the lawsuit, he can claim more than 1 million pounds from Manchester United. However, so far, Manchester United has temporarily refused to make any comments on the incident.
