Manchester United’s forward Mason Mount will be out for "several weeks" following a leg injury, confirmed by manager Ruben Amorim. Mount sustained the injury during Sunday’s 3-1 victory in the Manchester derby against City, when he was forced to leave the field after just 14 minutes of play. After United’s recent Carabao Cup defeat to Tottenham, Amorim discussed Mount’s recovery timeline, stating that while the exact return date remains uncertain, the injury will keep him sidelined for a significant period. This news comes as a major setback for the England international, who had been hoping for a more consistent run after struggling with injuries since his summer move from Chelsea in 2023.


The 25-year-old forward has had a challenging time with injuries since joining Manchester United, having missed five months of the previous season due to thigh and calf issues. This season, he’s faced further setbacks, including two months out with hamstring and head injuries. Despite his efforts to stay fit, Mount’s struggles with injuries have raised questions about his durability. When asked whether Mount is injury-prone, Amorim stated that he was not in a position to comment on the matter, as it wasn’t his responsibility. Instead, the manager emphasized his role in helping Mount recover and improve his understanding of United’s tactical approach, ensuring that he continues to grow as a player during his time off the pitch.

Amorim also highlighted the challenges of managing injuries in a tightly packed football schedule, pointing out that United's constant travel and demanding fixtures make it difficult for players to recover and train as they should. This leaves little time for the necessary recovery work that players need, especially for those like Mount who are dealing with persistent injuries. Nonetheless, Amorim expressed his sympathy for the player’s situation, acknowledging how tough it must be for Mount to cope with another extended absence. The manager reassured that the club will provide all the necessary support to help Mount through this recovery period, ensuring he has the opportunity to focus on regaining full fitness. With this injury setback, United remains committed to assisting Mount as he works towards a successful return to the squad.
