The Red Devils have a very long injury list at the moment.

Ruben Amorim has provided an update on Mason Mount’s injury. In Boxing Day’s 1-0 victory over Newcastle, the 26-year-old Manchester United star was substituted off at halftime.

For the second half, Jack, the son of Darren Fletcher, took his place. 21-year-old Patrick Dorgu scored the only goal of the match in the first half, sealing all three points with a well-hit volley.
