Ten Hag was quizzed on whether any defenders were due to return for our upcoming clash with Burnley on Saturday, with Casemiro having to again act as a makeshift centre-back for the entire encounter with the Blades on account of extensive injury list.
“No, not yet. We have to be patient for it,” the Dutchman replied to BBC’s Match of the Day. “For coming back for the game against Burnley, I don’t expect [them]. Mason Mount, he will return, I think.”
That would provide a boost for the manager’s options ahead of the game with the Clarets, as Casemiro’s adopted role means numbers are also reduced in midfield.
