In his 16th month since joining Manchester United, he has made only nine Premier League (PL) selections. Mason Mount, who collapsed again due to injury, confessed his sorrow.
British public broadcaster ‘BBC’ reported on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) that “Manchester United coach Hoobeng Amorim diagnosed Mount’s injury, saying he would not be able to play in the next few weeks due to a leg injury.”
Mount is in an injury nightmare. Mount made a surprise start in the match against Manchester City in the 16th round of the Premier League in 2024-25 season. Amorim excluded Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the list and opted for an unconventional strategy to put Mount and Ahmad Diallo at the second line. Mount, who had a chance to start for the first time in a long time, started the match with a firm commitment. 스포츠토토
However, after just 14 minutes, his resolve collapsed. Mount suddenly hesitated to the ground in the 14th minute. Mount looked stiff with his legs clasped, and eventually exited the stadium after consulting with medical staff. Mount cried as he left the stadium, and even his teammates and opponents offered comfort to him.
In a golden opportunity to prove himself, the injury stopped him in just 14 minutes. Mount made a “surprise transfer” from Chelsea to Manchester United last season. Manchester United invested a whopping 64.2 million euros (W97 billion) in Mount. The amount of bonuses is around 100 billion won. However, he did not show a steady performance. He wrestled with the injury right after the transfer, and as a result, his performance deteriorated.
It was the same even after Erik ten Hag was replaced. Amorim gave Mount a steady chance, though not many. Mount has played in 13 official matches so far. He has shown his capability through replacement recently, and finally got a chance to start in the Manchester Derby. However, he was frustrated as he fell into an injury evil spirit again.
So far, he has made only nine PL starts. Due to his injury, he has no clue. “All I can do is teach him how we play while he recovers, and give him time to think about other things,” Amorim said.
Mount finally opened his mouth. “I can’t describe how shocked I was. I probably could see the emotion on my face at the time. Manchester United fans probably don’t know much about me yet. However, I can only guarantee that I will never give up or lose my faith. I will put every effort into overcoming tough times, and I will never stop,” Mount said on his personal SNS account.
