Ruben Amorim says he is ‘concerned’ after both Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount came off injured during Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Burnley.

Bruno Fernandes scored a 96th minute penalty in a thrilling game at Old Trafford on Saturday to give United their first win of the season.

The result somewhat eases the pressure on Amorim whose side were humiliatingly knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Grimsby Town during the week.

But in a major blow for the Red Devils, it seems they have lost not one but two key players to injury, with Cunha hobbling off during in the 31st minute after appearing to hurt his hamstring.

After a great performance in the first-half, Mount was surprisingly subbed off during the break and replaced by Kobbie Mainoo, leading to speculation that he had picked up an injury.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, a crestfallen Amorim confirmed that was the case and revealed that the England midfielder was playing while injured.

‘It was hard to lose a player like Cunha and Mason Mount – Mason Mount played like 30 minutes with an injury,’ the Portuguese said.

‘When asked if they were long-term problems, he replied: ‘I don’t know, I don’t know, but I’m concerned about that. They are so important for us, so we’ll see.’

Later, in his post-match press conference, he added: ‘I don’t know [how bad they are], we will check them.

‘We need these guys to be really competitive.’
