Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim provided a rather blunt update on midfielder Mason Mount‘s injury. The update came ahead of their Carabao Cup quarter-final against Tottenham. The 25-year-old will remain sidelined for the Spurs’ clash, due to an injury in his leg. Mount, who has not enjoyed his best of the time at Manchester United, has hit another roadblock.
The midfielder limped off the pitch just 12 minutes after the start of the match against Manchester City. He was then replaced by Kobbie Mainoo, as the Red Devils went on to win 2-1. Mount has already spent much of his time on the sidelines this season, making just 12 appearances. He had missed eight matches in the months of September and October, owing to persistent hamstring issues.
While the details of his injury against Man City remain unclear, it is suspected to be a leg injury. Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim, while providing an update on the players available, informed that Mason Mount would remain out.
The boss revealed that the 25-year-old has remained sad, and also pointed to the busy football schedule as a reason for his injury. Moreover, Amorim also hinted that Marcus Rashford might feature against Tottenham despite the forward’s recent admission that he is ready for a ‘new challenge’.
He is out, still injured. In the dressing room he was really, really sad so we need to help him. When player is in this moment with a lot of injuries and with this schedule, it’s really hard.

Manchester United are not facing any major injury crisis. Mount and Luke Shaw are the only players out, while defenders Jonathan Evans and Noussair Mazraoui remain doubtful. Meanwhile, for Mount, it has been a tough season, having not scored or assisted a goal.
Ruben Amorim handed unlikely transfer boost ahead of winter transfer window
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has been handed an unlikely transfer boost ahead of his first transfer window with the Premier League giants. Bayern Munich midfield star Jamal Musiala’s recent statements have put the Red Devils’ on alert.
The 21-year-old midfielder’s contract with the German giants ends in the next 18 months. He is yet to sign a contract extension, as talks have stalled between Musiala’s agents and the club. Speaking in a recent interview, the German stated that he won’t give the fans a Christmas present, hinting at his inability to sign a new contract this year. However, he clarified his ambition of leaving a mark in Germany.
Unfortunately I can’t give the fans a Christmas present. There won’t be any news in the near future.

The Bayern star had previously been quizzed about his desire to play alongside friend Joshua Zirkzee at United. To this, he replied by saying that they always joke around. He could be a wonderful addition to Ruben Amorim’s side, having scored 13 goals and provided four assists this season already.
