Mason Mount’s injury is reportedly more serious than previously thought, and it’s possible that he won’t return to the field of play until October, rather than around mid-September as was first reported.

Mason Mount will miss the next two games of Manchester United’s Premier League 2023–24 campaign owing to injury, the club’s website abruptly stated yesterday (August 23). The 24-year-old star could only make a comeback after an international break that finishes in mid-September, according to the club, which withheld specifics on the condition of the England midfielder.

However, the injury to “number 7” is far worse than Man United had initially stated, according to sources of local journalists. Mason Mount, a 1999 midfielder, is said to suffer a serious hamstring injury, per the Telegraph; thus, he will probably miss four to six weeks of action. This implies that the former Chelsea star can resume playing until the beginning of October. Mount will therefore be absent from Manchester United’s six future Premier League games.

Early in July, Mason Mount signed a five-year contract with Manchester United, which included a weekly salary of almost £250,000. The Red Devils’ midfield is anticipated to become substantially stronger and deeper with the addition of the English midfielder. However, after just two games in the 2023–24 Premier League, the manucian society started to worry that this would be coach Erik Ten Hag’s latest dud acquisition.

In particular, the former Chelsea midfielder made his imprint in the opening game against Wolves with seven zeros: goals, assists, dangerous opportunities created, accurate crosses, and tackles to goal. All-round zeros for success—air combat success Mount was even more disoriented under the Red Devils’ system than Tottenham had been. The £55 million contract still hasn’t produced a single shot, goal, assist, pass, or victorious aerial fight. Because of this, Manchester United is not anticipated to suffer from Mason Mount’s absence in the near future.
