When Manchester United plays Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday night at St. James’ Park, they may be missing seven players.
Mason Mount, an England regular who cost £60 million to sign with United this summer, is recovering after missing the previous two games due to a calf injury. But when it came to his immediate availability, Erik ten Hag remained evasive at his pre-game press conference.
