Manchester United injury update: Mason Mount and Luke Shaw latest news and return dates | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim is still missing crucial players

Monday’s 2-0 defeat at home to Newcastle means Ruben Amorim’s side sit just seven points clear of the relegation zone and the United boss has warned fans to accept they are in a battle to beat the drop.

Here’s all the latest Manchester United injury news and return dates...

Mason Mount

Mason Mount has been ruled out for a number of weeks with a thigh injury picked up against Manchester City.

He wrote on social media: “Words can’t portray how devastated I’m feeling right now, you could probably see the look on my face when it happened. I knew what it meant.

“United fans, you may not know me too well yet, but one thing I can guarantee, I will never give up or lose faith.

Amorim said: "[Mount will be out for] several weeks. I don't know the exact date but it's going to be for long and that's it.”

Potential return date: Unknown

Victor Lindelof

Very much a bit-part player, Lindelof was given the chance to impress against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup but lasted just 45 minutes before being forced off with injury.

Amorim said after the game: “He has something we have to assess to say specifically what he has, but it's tough to lose a player.”

No update has been issued since.

Potential return date: January 2025

Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw suffered a setback last month following a fresh injury, having only just returned from a lengthy lay-off.

It was described as a “small” setback at the time, in early December, amid hope he could return before the end of the year.

His exact return date remains unclear.
