Manchester United F.C. head coach Michael Carrick has opened up on the fitness of Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt.

“Yeah Mason is getting closer. I think we’ve been patient, so we don’t want to push anything”, he told reporters.

“We want him back and he can have a big impact. He’s getting closer which is good for us.

“Matta is a little bit working towards it. He’s a bit behind Mason, so we’re just trying to work with him to progress him."
