Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed Mason Mount’s latest injury will keep him out of the squad for “several weeks”.
The 25-year-old came out in the early stages of last weekend’s Manchester Derby, a game United won 2-1 thanks to late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo, after being sidelined with a hamstring injury earlier in the season.
Mount’s first season at Old Trafford was also plagued by injury, restricting him to just 14 Premier League appearances and he has been limited to just 243 minutes of action in 2024/25.
In his last press conference, Amorim confirmed that the seventh dismissal due to injuries of Mount united The career is important that will leave him aside for the foreseeable future.
“A few weeks (he’ll be out). I don’t know the exact date, but it’s going to be long. That’s it. It’s part of football and we’re moving on.” said Amorim.
Asked about Mount’s continued struggles to stay fit, he continued: “That’s not my department. What I can do is help teach him how to play our game while he recovers, give him that time to think about different things.
“The worst thing is that we don’t have time to train like you should while you’re recovering from a lot of injuries, like you should. We’re always traveling, we don’t train enough with the team together. That makes it difficult to recover for the games.
“You see with Vic (Lindelof). Vic was recovering, he’s been training really well, we pushed him, we make all the screens we should before we get to a game, but the game is a whole world different. So they You have to have more time to train. It’s very difficult, we try to manage it with the rotation, but even with the rotation it’s very difficult to have the whole squad.
“With Mason, we’ll help him. It’s very difficult for the player to be out that long. He’s trying hard. If they try hard, we’ll help them all the way.”
United’s schedule has been fairly unforgiving since the start of the season, due to the club’s participation in the Europa League and progress in the Carabao Cup, but the Red Devils are now out of the latter competition after losing a quarter-final up 4-3 to Tottenham Hotspur.
The defeat was Amorim’s third in eight games since succeeding Erik ten Hag, with the club still languishing in the bottom half of the game. Premier League table
