Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has offered an update on injury status, indicating that the midfielder could be back in action in time for the upcoming match against Burnley.
Mount, who has been sidelined with a calf injury, has been absent from United’s last two games but may make a return to the squad for the Burnley clash. Ten Hag remains hopeful but cautious about Mount’s availability.
However, there is less optimism regarding defensive reinforcements for United, as several key defenders including Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane, and Willy Kambwala are all sidelined with injuries. Ten Hag emphasized the need for patience in the team’s defensive situation.
In the absence of returning defenders, Casemiro is likely to continue in the center of defence for United, partnering Harry Maguire. Despite playing out of position, Casemiro has impressed the manager with his performances, providing stability both defensively and in possession.
Ten Hag expressed satisfaction with the defensive partnership between Casemiro and Maguire, highlighting their effectiveness both on and off the ball.
As United aims to secure a top-six finish in the Premier League, the availability of Mount and the defensive stability provided by Casemiro will be crucial factors in their upcoming matches, including the pivotal clash against Burnley.
