“There’s no way we can win against FC Porto. Most of our key players are sidelined. Our Europa League dream is over before it started” – Terrible news hits Manchester United as Erik ten Hag has revealed that a Manchester United midfielder has secretly sustained an injury ahead of an important match against FC Porto.
Mason Mount’s challenging stint at Manchester United appears to be getting even tougher.
After Manchester United’s loss to Tottenham, the squad has had to contend with several injury concerns. Kobbie Mainoo was forced off at halftime and underwent a scan for a hamstring issue, while Mason Mount also exited the game with a head injury.
Initially, it seemed Mount would recover quickly, and Mainoo’s absence was more worrisome. However, things have turned out differently.
Updates on Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo Erik ten Hag received a boost when Kobbie Mainoo returned to training at Carrington ahead of United’s Europa League fixture. The young midfielder could make an appearance against Porto.
Unfortunately, Mason Mount was missing from training and didn’t travel with the squad. In his pre-match press conference, Ten Hag explained that in addition to Mount’s head injury, the midfielder had picked up another knock, ruling him out of action.
Mason Mount’s Ongoing Struggles Mount’s injury issues are becoming more complicated, especially after his recent social media post following the defeat to Tottenham. He shared a picture showing stitches on his head with the caption, “I’m all good, just a scratch, thanks for the messages,” along with a smile.
The timing of the post upset some fans, as it was shared shortly after the loss and didn’t address his ongoing injury troubles. Many supporters are frustrated with Mount’s continued absence from training.
With Bruno Fernandes initially expected to serve a three-match suspension, Mount was considered as a possible replacement. However, it now seems Mount wouldn’t have been available either way. The full extent of his new injury is unclear, but it marks another blow in his inconsistent time at Manchester United, having already missed a portion of the season.
Despite his upbeat social media post, this latest setback is a disappointing and awkward situation for Mount and the club.
