Man Utd suffered two injury scares in their 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Mason Mount insists he is 'all good' after he suffered a nasty head injury in Manchester United's heavy defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.

The 25-year-old began the match on the bench before he was introduced before half-time following Bruno Fernandes' red card and injury to fellow midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.

Mount brought energy to the United midfield but was unable to help them find a way back into the contest as Tottenham breezed into a 3-0 lead and could have scored many more in the process.

To top off a dismal day, United were handed a further injury scare in the final five minutes of the match when Mount was forced off with a head injury after he challenged Spurs defender Radu Dragusin for the ball. It meant the substitute had to be substituted himself, with forward Amad Diallo replacing him for the final few minutes.

Speaking after the match, Ten Hag was unable to provide any clarity on the injury situation of either Mainoo or Mount. "I can't say in this moment," he told MUTV. "I have to find out but, of course, when a player is coming off before half-time already, then there are some concerns.

"Also, I have seen how Mason came off. He was bleeding so it's clear there are some problems there and we have to see how they recover in the coming days."

While an update on Mainoo could arrive later on Monday, teammate Mount already eased the injury concerns by insisting his collision was only a minor one. Uploading a picture of himself receiving treatment on social media, he wrote: “I’m all good, just a scratch. Thanks for all the messages.”
