He’s the only Man United player that I’m really afraid of at the moment because I know the kind of wonders He can do with the ball,I hopes He gets injured again to be unable to face us today”, Mikel Arteta named the only one Man United player that He is afraid of facing today

Mikel Arteta recently identified a Manchester United player who particularly concerns him. Arteta admitted he has a specific fear when it comes to facing this player, expressing hope that the player’s potential injury could prevent him from participating in their upcoming match.

On the other hand, Erik ten Hag, Manchester United’s manager, has expressed confidence in Mason Mount’s ability to excel at Old Trafford once he is fully recovered from his injuries. Mount, who has 36 caps for England, joined Manchester United from Chelsea last summer in a transfer deal worth £55 million, as reported by BBC Sport. Unfortunately, his debut season was marred by a calf injury, which kept him sidelined for significant portions of the 2023/24 season. As a result, he made just 20 appearances across all competitions, including a mere 14 Premier League matches. He managed only one goal and played just a minute in the FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Mount’s injury troubles also impacted his international career, causing him to miss out on England’s squad for the Euro 2024 final. This absence, coupled with his limited impact at the club level, led to some frustration among Manchester United fans.

Despite these setbacks, Mount has shown promising signs during the pre-season. He has played a full 90 minutes across two matches and demonstrated his capability by creating four chances and providing an assist in a game against Rangers.

Ten Hag remains optimistic about Mount’s future contributions to Manchester United. He emphasized that while injuries have affected Mount’s performance, he believes Mount has the potential to be a significant asset for the team. Ten Hag remarked to reporters, “I don’t judge Mason because he was injured, but when he is fit, he will be a very good player. We need players with various qualities in our squad. Mount’s versatility in different positions will undoubtedly benefit the team.”

Looking ahead, Manchester United’s next pre-season fixture is set to be against Arsenal in California, scheduled for Sunday at 1 am UK time.
