Manchester United are dealing with a number of key injuries ahead of their Boxing Day match against Wolves. A look at the latest on Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelof.
Derby day delight seems a long time ago for Manchester United after back-to-back defeats against Tottenham and Bournemouth. United were dumped out of the Carabao Cup after their pulsating 4-3 defeat at Spurs and they followed that up with a 3-0 loss to the Cherries last weekend. The good news for Ruben Amorim is United's injury list is far shorter than it has been at times over the last few seasons.
That being said, there are still some key players on the sidelines who would likely be part of Amorim's strongest starting XI were they fit. Ahead of the Boxing Day clash with Wolves, here's a look at the United injury latest. Mason Mount What Amorim said: ' Several weeks. I don't know the exact date but it's going to be for long and that's it. That's part of football, you continue.' Expected return date: January. Luke Shaw Injury: Hamstring. Shaw suffered a hamstring injury just weeks after returning from injury. He confirmed he had picked up a knock in a social media post, adding that he was 'absolutely devastated' to have suffered another setback. What Amorim said: 'What I said to him as a coach, since I'm here, I saw him in the medical department, in the gym, I saw him losing weight, I saw him in training, so he did everything right.' Expected return date: Unknown. Matthijs de Ligt Reason for absence: Illness. The Dutch defender missed the defeat at Tottenham through illness and was not in the squad beaten by Bournemouth last weekend. Expected return date: Wolves (A) Victor Lindelof Injury: Unknown. After making a rare start against Tottenham, Lindelof picked up an injury and was replaced in the first half of United's Carabao Cup defeat. What Amorim has said: 'I think he has something we have to assess to say specifically what he has, but it's tough to lose a player.' Expected return date: Unknown
