Manchester United Team News<\/h3>\n

In the pre-match press conference<\/span><\/a>, Carrick discussed the latest on the injuries to Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt:<\/p>\n

\u201cMason sooner [than De Ligt]. He\u2019s not too far away. We\u2019re hopeful it won\u2019t be too long. Matta is working his way back, taking good steps and improving and being really positive. Hopefully won’t be too long.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrick was also asked about the absence of Patrick Dorgu<\/a>, and how long he would be missing for:<\/p>\n

\u201cNot exactly. We\u2019re working through it. It\u2019ll definitely be a number of weeks. It will be a considerable period of time.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s not going to be back in the next two or three weeks. To be more exact is a little bit difficult, at this moment.<\/p>\n

“It could possibly be [10 weeks], we\u2019re working through it. Certainly, we\u2019re looking forward to getting him back as quickly as we can and getting on the pitch long before the end of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n
