The defender missed the loss at Tottenham due to illness and was again absent for the defeat to Bournemouth.
[Matthijs] is still sick,” Amorim confirmed before the game, with no timeline on a return given.
Potential return date: December 26, 2024 vs Wolves
Mason Mount
Mason Mount has been ruled out for a number of weeks with a thigh injury, a setback which has left the midfielder “devastated”.
“Words can’t portray how devastated I’m feeling right now, you could probably see the look on my face when it happened. I knew what it meant.
“United fans, you may not know me too well yet, but one thing I can guarantee, I will never give up or lose faith.
“I’ve said this before, but I will continue to give everything, get through this tough period and won’t stop until that’s achieved.”
Amorim said: “So, with Mason Mount, we are going to help him, it’s really hard for the player to be out for so long and he’s trying really hard.”
Potential return date: Unknown
