It’s unfortunate for the midfield player because he’s never really had the chance to establish a consistent winning streak and, consequently, a starting position.
After his contentious departure from Chelsea in 2023, when United paid £50 million to sign him even though Mount only had one year remaining on his contract, injuries have dogged his stay with the team.
At the end of his rookie Premier League season, he had only made five starts and nine substitute appearances, missing thirty-one games in all competitions.
The 25-year-old is expected to miss more games this season after missing three already. Erik ten Hag confirmed tonight via Samuel Luckhurst that the No. 7 is “carrying two injuries.” He had barely played 40 minutes against Tottenham Hotspur after substituting in when he was involved in a severe head accident that left him heavily bleeding. His other problem is not known, but his previous absences were due to a hamstring strain.
Luke Shaw, a fellow countryman of Mount, is anticipated to make his eagerly anticipated comeback following the October international break. However, supporters shouldn’t anticipate seeing him before the October 19 match against Brentford. Shaw hasn’t played for United since February 18.
Before the Manchester United match, the Porto manager delivers a message to Erik ten Hag, who is under fire
An under-fire After leading United to an unexpected FA Cup final victory over Manchester City at the end of the previous season, Ten Hag gained the support of United’s managers in the summer.
However, the Dutchman is once again under a great deal of strain, and according to several reports, he has two games left to save his job, the first of which is at Estadio do Dragao in Porto.
The match takes place just four days after United’s humiliating 3-0 loss to Tottenham at Old Trafford, where goals from Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, and Dejan Kulusevski caused Ten Hag’s team even more suffering following a dismal start to the Premier League season.
Before losing to Spurs on Sunday, the Red Devils were beaten to a dismal 1-1 draw by FC Twente in their Europa League opening. They will need to play much better to silence their naysayers and doubters.
Vitor Bruno, the Porto manager, responded, “Quite the opposite,” when asked if now would be a good time to play United.
“We view Manchester United as a constant threat, and facing them is never a good idea.”They have many individuals, as well as a large team, so we must be ourselves and treat them with great respect.
“I understand you’re referring to their most recent matchup with Tottenham.”
However, you must consider the entire scene.”I haven’t met him yet, but I really like him,” Vitor Bruno said when asked about his feelings toward Ten Hag.
“There is a Portuguese coach named Carlos Carvalhal who was in the Premier League and the Championship and is currently at Braga.”
He used to mention that they would meet together for a glass of wine after games. Ten Hag can enter if he so chooses.Before United’s journey to Porto, Ten Hag told Sky Sports that he had not given attention to the possibility of being fired.”I’m not worried or thinking about it.” “We are united,” declared the former Ajax boss.
With the ownership and the leadership, we fostered a sense of unity during the summer.
“We all supported this agreement when we made it.” We also know that during a transitional phase, the plan is to bring in young players.
They also know that there have always been trophies at the end, when it’s May, in each of my previous six seasons. That is the goal we are presently pursuing as well.
