The £55million summer signing had an ineffective gave in north London as the Red Devils were beaten 2-0 and was withdrawn in the 85th minute, with Facundo Pellistri replacing him.
Mount did not appear to be carrying a knock when he left the pitch, but United have now confirmed that he will definitely miss this coming Saturday’s home match againstMore worryingly, the club do not expect him to return to action until after the international break meaning he would also miss a massive clash away to Arsenal on September 3.
A brief statement from United explained: ‘Mason Mount is set to miss Saturday’s game against Nottingham Forest due to an injury picked up in last weekend’s encounter with Tottenham Hotspur.‘The England midfielder has started both of our Premier League games so far this season after making his competitive debut for the club in last week’s 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford.
United’s midfield has been routinely cut apart in their first two matches of the new season, against Wolves and Spurs, and Ten Hag is light on options in the centre of the pitch with Fred having left the club, loanee Marcel Sabitzer not retained and Kobbie Mainoo injured. Mount’s absence will likely see United rejig their midfield with Scott McTominay – who has been linked with a move away – brought in to provide additional support to Casemiro.
