Heading into their next game with Tottenham, United could be without four players due to injury, as four names missed the Fulham match over the weekend.
Manchester United injury latest and predicted return dates
Mason Mount - Saturday 7 February vs Tottenham (H)
Firstly, Mason Mount missed the Fulham game with a minor knock over the weekend, but he isn’t expected to be out for a long period. Manager Michael Carrick confirmed why Mount wasn’t available over the weekend, but suggested that he should be back for United’s next game.
Carrick said before the Fulham game: “He took a bit of a knock in training. But it's nothing serious. We're disappointed he is not with us today, but he'll be back very soon."
Mount is yet to make an appearance since Carrick came into the fold at Old Trafford, but he will hope to make an impact for the Red Devils upon his return to full fitness.
Patrick Dorgu - Friday 20 March vs Bournemouth (A)
The Danish international has been playing as a winger before his injury rather than a full-back, and he looks like a different person. Carrick will hope he can return as soon as possible.
Matthijs De Ligt - Monday 23 February vs Everton (A)
De Ligt has been out since December with a lower back injury, and he continues to be out, suffering setback after setback; however, it is understood that the Dutchman will return later in February.
Manager Carrick said over the weekend: “He's not trained with us yet, so just working through the process, really of getting him back as soon as we can.”
Joshua Zirkzee - Saturday 7 February vs Tottenham
Zirkzee managed to return to the Man United squad for the Fulham game, although he didn’t step onto the field, as Carrick opted to trust Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo in the striker position rather than Zirkzee.
It is understood that he is fully fit yet again and should be available for selection for United’s next game against Tottenham after he returned to training this week, and will slowly ramp up his workload throughout the week.
