Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed a huge injury blow ahead of the Premier League clash against Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils bowed out of the Carabao Cup on Thursday night following a 4-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-final stage.
United will be aiming to make amends by beating the Cherries this weekend and ahead of the game, Amorim has confirmed a fresh long-term injury.
Mason Mount was substituted early in the Manchester derby last weekend and the manager has now confirmed that he could be out for some time.
He said: "Several weeks. I don't know the exact date, but it's going to be for long. And that’s it, it's part of football and you continue."
The news is a huge setback for the Red Devils, considering the former Chelsea man is perfectly suited for the 3-4-3 formation under Amorim.
Mount played his best football as an inverted forward under manager Thomas Tuchel, but he has yet to replicate the same for the Red Devils.
