Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was overcome with emotion after a crucial player, indispensable to the team, sustained an injury during today’s training session.

Mount, who recently transferred to the club from Chelsea, has faced another setback shortly after making his first Premier League start since October in a 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace. The midfielder sustained an injury during Thursday’s training session, and Manchester United manager Ten Hag has confirmed that the 25-year-old will not be able to participate in their upcoming match.
However, while Mount’s injury is considered minor, he is expected to recover in time for the final game of the season against Brighton.
Speaking to the club’s media team, Ten Hag explained, “It’s a minor issue, so he won’t be out for the season. I anticipate his return in a few days. Perhaps the Newcastle match next Wednesday is too soon, but I’m confident he’ll be ready for Brighton.”
Meanwhile, left-back Luke Shaw has encountered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury, although there remains optimism regarding his availability for the FA Cup final on May 25th. However, there is positive news for Manchester United, as Bruno Fernandes, Scott McTominay, and Marcus Rashford are all in contention to make their return for the upcoming match at Old Trafford.
During his pre-match press conference, Ten Hag provided updates, stating, “Rashford trained this morning, and we’ll assess his recovery from that session. But it seems promising, and I’m hopeful he’ll be able to participate in the next training session tomorrow, with a view towards his readiness for Sunday.” He further added, “Bruno and Scott McTominay were both out on the pitch, so we’ve seen the return of certain players.”
David Beckham made an exclusive appearance on talkSPORT Drive during the screening of his film “99” and delved into topics ranging from Manchester United to Erik ten Hag, England, and Jude Bellingham.

Meanwhile, Lisandro Martinez was eager to play against Arsenal despite still recovering from a calf issue. However, the former Ajax manager has asserted that the World Cup champion is not yet ready for a return to the pitch.

Speaking on Martinez’s situation, the ex-Ajax boss emphasized, “[Martinez] is keen to get back on the field; he misses playing dearly, and the team feels his absence.”

“He’s eager to return, but considering he has dealt with three injuries this season, he’s nearing the end of his recovery process. However, he still needs to undergo team training and regain match fitness.”
“I will never take risks with a player. Their well-being and future prospects are paramount. While the club’s interests are important, the safety and health of the player come first.”
This stance underscores the manager’s commitment to prioritizing the long-term welfare of his players over short-term gains, demonstrating his dedication to their overall development and success.
