Man Utd Boss Erik ten Hag Defends Training Methods Following Mason Mount’s Training Injury

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has defended his training methods amid rising concerns over injuries, with midfielder Mason Mount becoming the latest casualty.

Mount is expected to be sidelined for at least three weeks due to a calf injury sustained in training. While questions have been raised about Ten Hag’s training techniques, he attributes the injuries to the demanding fixture calendar.

Ten Hag emphasized the challenges posed by an increasing number of games each year and highlighted the physical demands in the Premier League, necessitating smart decision-making in training and preparation.

United’s injury crisis intensifies as they face crucial fixtures in both the Champions League and the Premier League’s busy December schedule.

Ten Hag will navigate these challenges without several key players, including Mount, Rasmus Hojlund, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen, Amad Diallo, and Tyrell Malacia. The return of Luke Shaw after a three-month absence provides a silver lining.

Additionally, United faces Everton amidst the backdrop of the Premier League’s 10-point deduction for the Toffees, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the anticipated clash at Goodison Park.
