Manchester United found bright spots after the last match but besides that they also received more bad news about the personnel situation.

Amad Diallo

The young Ivorian player became a great inspiration in the Red Devils’ playing style . Amad brought home a penalty and a beautiful goal.

The 2024-25 season has the potential to be Amad’s real breakthrough season at Man United, and this game gave fans a glimpse of what the former Atalanta talent can produce down the right flank.

Joshua Zirkzee

It’s rare for a player to be a match winner when you’re not even on the teamsheet, but Zirkzee is now playing a key role in the Man Utd squad .

With injuries to Rasmus Hojlund, and now Marcus Rashford , the Dutch star becomes the only experienced striker in the squad.

Zirkzee is expected to make his Red Devils debut on August 10 against Manchester City in the Community Shield, and is also likely to start against Fulham in the Premier League opener six days later.

Marcus Rashford

The 1997-born striker was really excellent in the first half, scoring a goal and contributing an assist. However, in the second half, he suffered a serious injury and had to leave the field. Rashford limped out and walked straight down the tunnel with a sad face.

The England striker is hoping to get back to playing football soon after a year to forget, so any injury that keeps him out for an extended period of time would be a huge blow to his plans.

Erik ten Hag

Ten Hag continues to receive bad news about the personnel situation during the tour to the US. After Leny Yoro, now it’s Rashford and Hojlund.

New signing Yoro is expected to be out for three months after breaking his leg against Arsenal, while Hojlund is out for six weeks with a hamstring injury. If Rashford is sidelined for an extended period, the Dutchman will be without three key players for the opening weeks of the season.

Mason Mount

After a stellar performance against Arsenal last week, Mason Mount was benched against Real Betis.

When Mount came on in the second half, he failed to create much, despite being surrounded by academy players and first-team substitutes. Mount must have been disappointed to see Christian Eriksen come off, especially as the Dane did not contribute much to a fairly dominant attacking display from the starting XI.

Despite this, the former Spurs man has been given a chance by Ten Hag. The upcoming season will be crucial for Mount’s future as he seeks to define his role in the Red Devils’ squad, so his omission from the squad is a worrying sign.
