"A timeline for their return is becoming clearer, though, with Carrick revealing Mount could soon return to the fold. United's interim boss said: Mason sooner [than De Ligt]. He's not too far away. We're hopeful it won't be too long. Centre-back De Ligt has not played for United since November due to a lingering lower back injury, initially thought to be minor."
"Coming in at the very start and the games so quickly, it was kind of step by step. I wasn't looking too far ahead. People were saying at the time the first two games were standout and we expedited a tough start and in some ways that helped get the whole group focused and alive. I didn't look too far ahead. Over time we got a vague idea of what we wanted to look like"
Carrick indicated clearer timelines for injured players, noting Mason could return sooner than De Ligt and Mount might rejoin the squad soon. Mason is described as not far away and the club is hopeful his absence will end shortly. De Ligt has been out since November with a lingering lower back issue that was initially thought minor. Matta is progressing through recovery, taking good steps and showing positivity. Carrick has overseen three consecutive wins and emphasizes a step-by-step approach, with a developing tactical direction and evident growth across the team and squad.
