RUBEN AMORIM plans to teach Mason Mount his tactics even while the England star recovers from his latest injury setback. Mount, 25, limped off in the 14th minute of Sunday’s Manchester derby. Amorim has now confirmed the midfielder will be out for “several weeks” with a muscle problem - but will still swot up on the Portuguese’s approach in the meantime.

The United chief said: “(It will be) several weeks. I don’t know the exact date but he is going to be out for a long (time).”. Mount signed from Chelsea in 2023 for £55million but has played in just 33 of 78 possible games in a United shirt.

"What I can do is to help Mase, to teach him how to play our game when he is recovering. “Try to use that time for him to think in different things and then I think the worst part is that we don’t have time to train like we should do when you are recovering for a lot of injuries.
