Mason Mount of Man United suffers injury after just 14 minutes and is taken off against Man City

MANCHESTER, England — Mason Mount faced another injury setback during Sunday’s Premier League match against Manchester City, leading to an emotional moment with his Manchester United colleagues.

The midfielder was forced to leave the game just 14 minutes in after signaling to the coaching staff that he could no longer continue. Mount collapsed on the pitch at the Etihad Stadium and received assistance from a member of the medical team. However, it was evident that a substitution was necessary.

Kobbie Mainoo came on to take Mount’s place, while teammates including captain Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund offered comforting words as he made his way off the field. The specifics of the injury have not yet been disclosed.

Since arriving at Manchester United from Chelsea last year, Mount has struggled with injuries, leading to limited participation in the game. In fact, he has managed to make only eight Premier League starts since the beginning of the previous season.

Despite the absence of Mount, United secured a 2-1 victory, highlighted by late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo.
