Erik ten Hag responds to Jose Mourinho comments on Manchester United

Manchester United will be without ten players for their Europa League tie against Fenerbahce, with Mason Mount set to be sidelined for "a little bit longer".

Mount sustained a head injury in the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham nearly four weeks ago and it then emerged he had sustained a knock. United manager Erik ten Hag admitted the 25-year-old will be "a little bit longer, as we expected, but I think he will be back soon".

Mount, Leny Yoro (metatarsal), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Luke Shaw (calf), Harry Maguire (muscle), Jonny Evans (knock), Kobbie Mainoo (hamstring), Toby Collyer and Dan Gore are all out injured while Bruno Fernandes is suspended after his sending off against Porto three weeks ago.

Full backs Habeeb Ogunneye and Harry Amass have been added to the squad, having both appeared in matchday squads earlier this year. United have only travelled to Istanbul with 20 players - three fewer than the maximum they are allowed for their Uefa matchday squad.

"Of course, players who are available have to do the job and they are capable," Ten Hag stressed. "I think we have enough players in the team, they are so experienced, we faced such situations more often.

"I think we're looking forward to it. It will be a great ambience, that's fuel for our team, it's a challenge, motivation, it's really good for us."

United have won one of their past ten European matches. They have scored 12 goals in their last four European away ties yet lost two 4-3 and drew the other two 3-3. Their last away victory in European competition was against Real Betis in the Europa
