Mason Mount will be absent for “several weeks” with his latest fitness issue, but Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has promised to help the injury-stricken player through it.
Mount limped off after 14 minutes of United’s 2-1 win at rivals Manchester City last weekend and sat out Thursday’s narrow defeat away to Tottenham in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
The England international has endured a torrid time at Old Trafford since a £55million move from Chelsea in 2023, missing four months of last season with a calf injury and only playing 12 times this term due to multiple setbacks.
Asked how long Mount would be out ahead of Sunday’s visit of Bournemouth, Amorim said: “Several weeks.
“I don’t know the exact date but he is going to be out for a long time. In that sense, it is part of football and we continue.
“What I can do is to help Mase, to teach him how to play our game when he is recovering. Try to use that time for him to think in different things, and then I think the worst part is that we don’t have time to train like we should do when you are recovering for a lot of injuries.
“We are always travelling, we have games, so training we don’t have all the team together and this is really hard to recreate the game before they come to the game.
