Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Mason Mount has suffered another injury setback, ruling him out of contention for the upcoming Premier League clash against Arsenal. However, there is positive news as Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, and Marcus Rashford have returned to training and could feature in Sunday’s game at Old Trafford.

Mount’s injury adds to United’s injury concerns, with Luke Shaw also suffering a setback in his recovery from a muscle problem. Mount, who joined United from Chelsea last summer for £60 million, has been plagued by injuries this season, limiting him to just 19 appearances across all competitions. Ten Hag is facing an injury crisis, with Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, and Raphael Varane still in the treatment room.

While Martinez has expressed a desire to play against Arsenal, Ten Hag is unwilling to risk him. He stated, “I’d never gamble with a player’s fitness. It’s about them and their futures. That is the most important thing. I have to take responsibility for it.” Due to the shortage of defenders, Ten Hag had to deploy defensive midfielder Casemiro as a center-back, highlighting the extent of United’s injury woes this season.
