Manchester United fans have been left in shock as Mason Mount is reportedly out for a month due to a calf injury. Since moving from Chelsea for a hefty £55 million, the England International has struggled to live up to expectations. Wearing the iconic No. 7 shirt, Mount has only provided one assist in 12 appearances, and his fitness has been a constant concern, causing him to miss six games due to injury.
The news of Mount’s calf injury has sparked disappointment among fans, who have expressed their displeasure on social media. This setback will see him miss at least eight games, including six premier league fixtures.
Despite this setback, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag remains confident in his team’s abilities, referring to their recent string of wins as a source of inspiration. The Red Devils head into a crucial month, hoping to build on their recent form and secure more victories in the Premier League.
The team currently sits in sixth place with 21 points, but their inconsistency has been evident, with nine losses in 18 games and an early exit from the Carabao Cup. Despite these challenges, the manager remains optimistic and believes his team has what it takes to succeed in the coming weeks.
Manchester United’s upcoming match against Everton will test their strength as they navigate through a tough period without Mason Mount.
