Mason Mount set to be out until MARCH as Man Utd midfielder's injury nightmare continues

Premier League

Fulham

Manchester United

<p>The 25-year-old was forced off the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/misery-mason-mount-injury-plagued-man-utd-midfielder-limps-out-man-city-clash-12-minutes-ruben-amorim-forced-to-tweak-gameplan/bltf6aadeb7ff038b03#cs196e64d5ad11184c" target="_blank">pitch just 14 minutes into the match</a> against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium earlier this month, which United won 2-1, sparking concerns over his long-term fitness. According to <a href="https://talksport.com/football/2416227/man-united-mason-mount-injury/" target="_blank"><em>talkSPORT</em></a><em>, </em>Mount may be out of action until March, with the former Chelsea star's second season at Old Trafford going exactly the same way as his first.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Earlier in the campaign, Mount dealt with two separate injuries and last season, he missed three months due to a calf issue. Ruben Amorim's arrival as head coach was thought to have<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mason-mount-man-utd-flop-to-be-handed-second-chance-under-ruben-amorim-new-head-coach-squad-planning/blt13cd8a717872d948#csab232f1d1fc29c80" target="_blank"> infused a fresh lease of life for Mount,</a> but the latest injury setback has once again complicated matters for the English midfielder.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Mount expressed his frustration and disappointment over the situation through social media last week. In an Instagram post, he wrote: “Words can’t portray how devastated I’m feeling right now. You could probably see the look on my face when it happened. I knew what it meant.”</p><p>Speaking ahead of United’s clash with Bournemouth, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-boss-ruben-amorim-update-injury-ravaged-mason-mount-wantaway-marcus-rashford-return-tottenham-carabao-cup-quarter-final/bltf295404add7bb4f9" target="_blank">Amorim confirmed that the midfielder would be out for an extended period.</a></p><p>"Several weeks [out]," he said. "I don’t know the exact date, but it’s going to be for long. And that’s it, it’s part of football and you continue."</p>

WHAT MOUNT & AMORIM SAID

<p>Mount is not the only player Amorim has been forced to make do without in recent games. Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw are also currently unavailable due to injuries, while Matthijs de Ligt missed the Bournemouth game through illness, though the Dutchman is expected to return to the fold this week.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>United face an uphill battle with mounting injuries and underwhelming performances on the field. The 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth on Sunday left United languishing in the Premier League's bottom half at Christmas for the first time ever, with the players still getting used to Amorim's unique footballing philosophy. The Red Devils will aim to bounce back when they travel to Molineux to face Wolves on Boxing Day.</p>
