Manchester United suffer fresh Mason Mount setback and give updates on Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia

Mason Mount sustained two injuries in Manchester United's 3-0 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday.

Substitute Mount had to be substituted after 40 minutes due to a head injury that required stitches and the 25-year-old did not participate in the open training session on Wednesday.

United manager Erik ten Hag also revealed that Mount, who missed 30 of United's 52 matches last term and was absent for three games with a hamstring injury last month, also suffered a knock.

"He had a head injury and also he picked up a knock," Ten Hag confirmed. "They are the two reasons why he is not available for tomorrow."

Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia will not figure before the October internationals. Shaw has been sidelined for nearly two more months with a calf strain while Malacia is nearing a return from a knee injury that has prevented him from playing since June 2023.

Shaw has not played for United since February 18 and Malacia's last appearance for the club was on May 28 2023 as he required two rounds of surgery on a knee problem.

"On the left back, they are improving but I don’t expect them back before the international break," Ten Hag added. "But we hope Luke Shaw can return after the international break quickly.

"I don’t know if it’s the first game, we’re hoping for. I can’t in this moment tell this 100 per cent with security but from now on we have two-and-a-half weeks to work to the point but shortly definitely after he will be there.

"Tyrell Malacia makes very good progress on the pitch and now he has to make the step to full team training."
