Amorim: Mount return to action will be very slow

Mount has restricted to just 403 minutes of football across all competitions, with his troublesome thigh injury following a hamstring issue early in the season.

Amorim acknowledged United’s current workload and other injuries, as well as the tiredness of some of his fit players, and confirmed Mount will ease back into the fold in the hope of preventing a future breakdown.

“With the different competitions, we have to rotate,” Amorim said. “We are risking some players. For example, Casemiro, he was so tired.

“We didn’t want to risk Ugarte Because สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน today was a decision: in one competition, Ugarte wanted to stay here. We have Mason Mount who will return really slow, Kobbie [Mainoo] will maybe return in a few weeks, I don’t know for sure.

Harry Maguire, who we tried not to risk, we will see for Sunday.

We need all the players and I think against Lyon [in the Europa League quarter-finals] it will different kind of game. The physicality is going to be a different game, more demanding. That aspect and we have a lot of difficult games in the Premier League.”

The question has put Mount on the spot. It is an awkward one to answer for someone uncomfortable bigging himself up, but there is no way out. “It’s difficult,” he says, speaking on Zoom from his home. “But because I have got seven goals I will give myself seven out of 10. I’m a big self-critic and I know there is room for improvement.”
