Erik ten Hag provides Mason Mount update after Man Utd star subbed off at half-time

Mason Mount was brought off at half-time during Manchester United’s 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, having missed the Red Devils’ previous five games

Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Mason Mount’s half-time substitution against Crystal Palace was pre-planned, allaying fears of another injury.

£65million summer signing Mount played 45 minutes on his return to action and was instrumental in Manchester United’s comfortable 3-0 win. Goals from Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro and Anthony Martial sent the Red Devils into the fourth round, with the draw due to take place following Wednesday’s round of games.

Starting the move for Garnacho’s opener before assisting Casemiro from a corner six minutes later, Mount showed what he can do after missing United’s previous five games, although his return only lasted 45 minutes. Fortunately for United fans, there’s nothing to worry about as Ten Hag confirmed post-match that the 24-year-old’s withdrawal at the interval was indeed pre-planned.

The Red Devils boss told Sky Sports with a nod: “He is returning from an injury and we have to build this up. If you go too quickly you get a drop and we want to avoid that.”
