Jose Mourinho unconcerned by Juan Mata, Matteo Darmian injuries

Mourinho plays down Mata, Darmian injuries

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has eased fears over injuries suffered to Juan Mata and Matteo Darmian during the team's pre-season friendly in Utah.

Mata was substituted less than a quarter of an hour into United's 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake after getting caught on his ankle by Sebastian Saucedo.

Darmian suffered a knock in the closing stages of the match, but Mourinho does not seem concerned by either injury.

"Mata has a big ankle but hopefully nothing really important. I would say a few days, a week, something like that, in principle. And Matteo Darmian I don't think is even an important problem," he told reporters.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan was among the goals, and Romelu Lukaku netted his first for United since signing from Everton in a £75m deal.
