[Simon Stone] Erik ten Hag says Mason Mount reported an issue at half-time and he (Ten Hag) wasn’t prepared to take a risk. “I don’t know how much of a worry it is, maybe it is nothing, but I didn’t hesitate.”

Fuck sakes man, week two and already injury issues
I felt we were better with Mount in the team – the way he leads the press is phenomenal.
Fucking shit
Well it was nice to be able to press the opposition properly for 8 days this season.
Pointless signing at the time and disaster in hindsight
Ffs
Rely on injury prone players and this is what we get.
A game and a half in and we don’t have Shaw and Mount on the pitch due to injury.
Although taking him straight off was the smart thing to do
Fucking hell we got scammed, the press is way too intense the players all looked so tired
Ok well at least theres a good reason for that
Mountial
Can Ugarte and Mount play together on the pitch?
And it begins…
This is why you don’t buy a player on the last year of his contract for £55m when he’s also coming off an injury ridden season. Gave him a stupidly fat contract too for no reason. Infuriatingly stupid
We’re so back lads
oh for fucks sake man 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thought he actually had the balls to willingly make a half time change, never mind so.

Does the EPL have an Injury FC 11? Shaw and Mount are definitely starting.
Warra signing, 250k a week well spent
Lol.. every time we hear this, it’s 6 weeks
That explains that.
hopefully nothing
Soon he can start blaming injuries when we play shit and loose 👍
Had a week of excitement, week without injuries. One week better than last year

Thought it was an odd sub and completely ruined our shape and patterns of play, we turned into last seasons team again. It makes slightly more sense now.
It’s even more baffling why he took off Bruno then, leaving virtually no creativity in the team.
Looking forward to the day we sell Mount. Available for 10 games per season, average player, wearing United’s #7 for some reason
I hope it isn’t an injury and just a precaution. He’s right not to take the chance given how many games he missed last season.
He was covering a lot of ground and players so that our press could be at a respectable level. Not surprised it was too much for him. After he was taken off, Brighton was more assured in possession in the middle.
Mount’s 2 games a season quota was completed after all.
And so it begins…
Hopefully it’s just precautionary, the right call to make
ETH is on thin ice. He better not use the same injury excuses as last year. Injuries don’t explain two poor seasons in a row.
Disaster signing
Press looks fantastic when he’s on, it’s unfortunate he can’t stay healthy. Cut our losses, replace him next summer if his injury issues persist all season
I thought we cleaned out the spud medicos?
Mount and Shaw
Useless signing
“United stand” saying Mount shouldn’t have started and that Hag made a mistake taking him off and is now lying about him being injured…. Clown channel ?
