'We need to help him' - Manchester United looking for 'better way' to manage star player

Ruben Amorim says Manchester United are looking at a 'better way' to manage Mason Mount after he suffered a fresh injury setback.

The 25-year-old has suffered four separate injuries since he joined the club a year ago and will miss their upcoming Carabao Cup quarter-final clash against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night.

Mount started for United in their derby win over Man City last weekend but only lasted 14 minutes before he was replaced by Kobbie Mainoo. It was another devastating blow for the midfielder, who has already missed three matches this season due to a hamstring injury.

Speaking ahead of the trip to North London, Amorim revealed Mount would not be available for selection and that the club was looking into a better way to ensure he doesn't suffer any further future setbacks.

"No, he’s not available. We will assess the amount of time, he’s seeing a specialist today so we’ll see," Amorim said on Wednesday morning. "He’s really sad and in the dressing room he was really really sad so we need to help him. When the player is in this moment with a lot of injuries and with this schedule without many training with all the squad, makes the load he really needs, try to do it with exercise but it’s not the same. It’s hard and we have to maintain the load and we have to travel and with travelling you cannot train so it’s really hard for them. We will try to find a better way to recover these kind of guys like Mount and Luke Shaw because after a few weeks and a few months they will be ready to cope with a lot of things."
