Manager Erik ten Hag spoke about Mount’s return, expressing his optimism
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will welcome back Mason Mount for the upcoming Premier League clash against Burnley. Mount, who has only started seven matches this season due to injuries, suffered a setback during United’s recent FA Cup semifinal win over Coventry City. Despite this setback, Ten Hag remains hopeful that Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial, and Lisandro Martinez will return before the season concludes.
With United currently sixth in the standings, seven points behind Tottenham Hotspur, reinforcements are much needed. The team’s defensive struggles, conceding 50 goals in the league, have been exacerbated by injuries, forcing Ten Hag to deploy midfielder Casemiro as a makeshift center-back alongside Harry Maguire in recent matches.
Ten Hag also expressed his support for Marcus Rashford amid online abuse directed towards the forward this season. Rashford, who responded to online criticism, has received backing from Ten Hag, who believes in supporting players through both highs and lows.
