Cunha and Mount Injury Updates…
Manchester United are crossing their fingers and toes after Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount both hobbled off like they just saw their missing homework in Burnley’s defensive strategy. Cunha’s early exit with a suspected hamstring issue had fans biting their nails faster than a jaguar on an energy drink, while Mount made way for Kobbie Mainoo at halftime. Speaking from his crystal ball—or maybe just the press room—United’s boss Ruben Amorim coyly admitted they still had to check on the duo, emphasizing, “we need those guys like a fish needs water to stay competitive.”
Last week proved tricky after United’s not-so-glorious stumble against Grimsby Town saw them drop out of the Carabao Cup, making their win against Burnley as crucial as a chocolate teapot in a fire brigade. Burnley fought back like a toddler on a sugar rush, and the game seemed destined for a draw until Amad’s penalty theatrics in injury time allowed Bruno Fernandes to seal the deal. Despite feeling like they were playing with marshmallow armor in the second half, Amorim praised his side’s efforts, humorously noting that his players worked harder than a sleepy cat chasing laser pointers. The Red Devils now prepare to take on Manchester City after the break.
