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

Ruben Amorim could have a senior player back this weekend

Manchester United can take great confidence from their draw with Liverpool as they prepare for a FA Cup third round tie against Arsenal.

Sunday's 2-2 draw at Anfield was quite comfortably the best performance the Red Devils have produced since the appointment of Ruben Amorim.

Though, the United boss has insisted his players must not drop their levels as they look to put a miserable first half of the season behind them and climb up the Premier League table.

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

Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford missed Manchester United’s trip to Liverpool on Sunday due to illness.

"It’s the same situation," Amorim said in the pre-match press conference. "At the moment, he’s ill, he’s not training so we'll see in the future but he's like a normal player, then I make a selection so it's the same.

"I think he's going to be out this week, he's not training. We'll see but I think this week he's out."

The 27-year-old has been out of favour in recent weeks and it remains to be seen if he will even still be at the club come this weekend as with the transfer window now open, there has been strong speculation over his future at United.

Potential return date: Unknown

Mason Mount

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

It is a setback which has left the midfielder “devastated”, having struggled with a string of calf and thigh injuries since joining United.

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.

“I’ve said this before, but I will continue to give everything, get through this tough period and won’t stop until that’s achieved.”

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 this season, 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.
