In July 2023, Manchester United reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign Mason Mount.
This deal was approved by then-manager Erik ten Hag.
Mount joined for an initial £55 million, with add-ons potentially raising total to £60 million.
Eighteen months later, Mount’s impact at United has been extremely limited.
He has made just 32 appearances, with one goal and one assist.
Persistent injuries have sidelined him for much of his time at the club.
Mount has played in only 32 of the 79 matches since his arrival.
Despite Ruben Amorim’s encouraging words, Mount faces another injury setback.

According to UtdMenace on X, Mount could be set for up to ten weeks after suffering an injury against Manchester City earlier this month.

The injury is a hamstring problem caused by a hyperextended leg, affecting the tendon.
His return will depend on rehabilitation, but he may not be back until March 2025.
Mount shared his feelings on Instagram, saying: “Words can’t portray how devastated I’m feeling right now.
“You could probably see the look on my face when it happened.
“I will never give up or lose faith.
“I will continue to give everything, get through this period and won’t stop.”
United fans will remain hopeful that the Englishman will get back to full fitness and form.
Mount was a key part of Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea side, often featured as a number 10.
Tuchel’s system at Chelsea is very much similar to Amorim’s currently at United.
Ideally, Amorim will deploy Mount in the same position.
Mount’s tenacity and willingness on and off the ball has rarely been on sight since leaving Chelsea.
United may push Mount to explore his options elsewhere, if his injury concerns to continue to persist.
