Manchester United could be without both centre back Harry Maguire and midfielder Mason Mount for the visit of Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed.
The Red Devils are enjoying a rare period of positivity under the boss, who has finally overseen back-to-back Premier League victories after 11 months in the post. United are now searching for three straight wins in the competition for the first time since August 2024.
United may have to fight for that victory without Maguire, the hero of the occasion last time out with a late winner against Liverpool, after a knock in training left him a major doubt for Saturday’s game.
“The squad is fine,” Amorim began. “We have some doubts, we had some issues during the week, with Harry Maguire and Mason Mount. Knocks, but nothing serious.
“Licha [Martínez] is out, but the rest is ready for the game. I think it’s always going to be like always, but it’s going to be a very difficult game. It’s a difficult team. They are fun to watch, really good with build-up, really strong with transitions in every aspect of the game and are doing well with set-pieces.”
