Man Utd boss Ten Hag unsure of Mount playing return

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is unsure when Mason Mount will play again.

The midfielder's first season with United has been plagued by injury.

"He was struggling from the second game of the season," Ten Hag said. "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.

"I'm sure he [will be] a very good player for us. But first of all - and we have to do it very securely - is to get him fit.

"Secure in the process - step by step, don't force it - and then hopefully, by the end of the season, he can stay fit and find himself in the team - or at least he plays a role in this team."
