Ruben Amorim expressed concern over Lisandro Martinez's injury, calling it serious, as Manchester United's defensive depth faces a major challenge following the centre-back's stretchered exit in their 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Mount suffered a hamstring injury for United against Manchester City and has not featured since. Amorim confirmed in January that Mount would take “a little bit longer” than Shaw to recover and his return date remains unclear. Veteran Jonny Evans remains out with a muscle injury and is not yet clear when the Northern Irishman will return.
