Erik ten Hag’s Encouraging Words to Mason Mount Amid Ongoing Injury Woes
Mason Mount’s time at Manchester United has been plagued by injuries, but his manager, Erik ten Hag, remains confident in the midfielder’s abilities and believes he will become a “very good player” for the club. Mount, who joined the Red Devils from Chelsea in a deal worth up to £60m, has struggled to make an impact due to hamstring and calf injuries.
Despite the setbacks, Mount has returned to training on the grass and his return to the pitch may be just around the corner. Ten Hag sympathizes with the 25-year-old and is determined not to rush him back into action. He hopes that Mount can regain his fitness and make a significant contribution to the team.
“He was struggling from the second game of the season,” said Ten Hag. “He returns for a period and then picked up another injury, so of course that’s not great. That is very frustrating for him and I really feel for him, so I really want to be there for him because he had such high expectations – and I had high expectations.”
Ten Hag emphasizes the importance of ensuring Mount’s fitness before reintegrating him into the team. The manager wants to take a secure and step-by-step approach, avoiding any unnecessary risks. By the end of the season, Ten Hag hopes Mount will have regained his form and become a key player for Manchester United.
As the Red Devils prepare to face West Ham in the Premier League, Ten Hag provided updates on the team’s injury situation. Lisandro Martinez is available for selection, but Tyrell Malacia is out and Victor Lindelof is a doubt. Mount and Tyrell Malacia are not expected to return soon, but Lindelof has made progress in his recovery.
With Ten Hag’s support and patience, Mason Mount has a promising future ahead of him at Manchester United. Once he is fully fit, he will have the opportunity to prove his worth and make a significant impact on the team. As fans eagerly await his return, the hope is that Mount’s time on the sidelines will only be a temporary setback in his career.
