Man Utd: Cunha and Mount, in doubt due to injuries; Amorim awaits news

Coach Ruben Amorim expressed his hope to receive positive news following injuries to Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount during the match against Burnley. Amorim emphasized the need for both players for Manchester United to maintain its competitiveness. Cunha, signed for 62.5 million pounds this summer from Wolves, had to leave the field in the first half of the match, which ended with a 3-2 victory at Old Trafford. The injury appeared to be in the hamstring. Mount, who performed well in the first 45 minutes, did not return for the second half, being replaced by Kobbie Mainoo.

The United medical staff will assess both players. Amorim suggested it would be a blow if they were forced to be out of action for a prolonged period. Amorim’s frustration was evident when Cunha collapsed clutching his leg, so much so that he had to restrain himself from kicking a water bottle towards the stands.

I don’t know how they are. We will review them. We need those guys to be competitive.

Matheus Cunha suffered an injury in the first half of Manchester United’s victory over Burnley. Despite injuries to Cunha and Mount, United managed to secure their first win of the season thanks to a penalty in stoppage time from Bruno Fernandes. The Amorim team took the lead twice, but Burnley managed to equalize. The match seemed to be heading for a draw before VAR awarded a penalty to United in the 97th minute, which Fernandes converted, a week after missing from the penalty spot against Fulham.

It ended well. I think we deserved to win the match. I think we created many chances, we should have gone to halftime with a bigger lead.

The coach added that his team deserved the victory and fought until the last minute to score goals, having their opportunities.
