The individual aged 24 was substituted during the latter part of the aforementioned match, leading many observers to infer that Erik Ten Hag had implemented a strategic alteration. Unfortunately, Mount has sustained an injury that will prevent his participation in the next matches against Nottingham Forest (August 26), Arsenal (September 3), and Brighton & Hove Albion (September 16).
According to a report by The Telegraph, there is a possibility that the midfielder may face a period of absence lasting up to six weeks. The current situation is a setback for Ten Hag, as his team has had a concerning beginning to the season.
In their first match, Manchester United narrowly secured a 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Nevertheless, Tottenham Hotspur convincingly defeated them with a 2-0 scoreline.
The midfield of the Red Devils was found vulnerable in each of those matches, leading to widespread speculation that the combination of Mount, Casemiro, and Bruno Fernandes is ineffective. The injury sustained by the English player necessitates the potential inclusion of Scott McTominay in Ten Hag’s deliberations.
Manchester United should sign Sofyan Amrabat, says Robbie Savage.
Mount’s injury coincides with a period in which Manchester United is in dire need of a fresh midfielder. The English player is exhibiting a striking resemblance to Fernandes, so rendering Casemiro susceptible in his role as a holding midfielder.
There have been reports connecting the football club known as the Red Devils with a potential transfer of Sofyan Amrabat, a midfielder now playing for Fiorentina.

Robbie Savage has provided counsel to Manchester United, urging them to promptly secure a transfer agreement for Amrabat. He commended his achievements in both the UEFA Europa Conference League while playing for Fiorentina and the 2022 FIFA World Cup for Morocco, as he said to TEAMtalk.
Sofyan Amrabat has been the subject of speculation and association. I saw his performance in the Europa Conference League final, whereby he exhibited exceptional skill and prowess. Furthermore, his remarkable contributions in the World Cup, particularly from his position in the deep midfield, were really remarkable.
The ex-midfielder of the United team proceeded to elaborate on the contributions that Amrabat can provide to Ten Hag’s squad.
The individual in question has the ability to control the ball, influence the course of play, execute accurate passes, shift the direction of play, and distribute forward passes. In close proximity to Casemiro, he would exhibit exceptional performance.
The speaker continued by highlighting the potential benefits of Amrabat’s presence for Mount and Fernandes in their pursuit of advancing their positions on the field.
“If they sign him, United can play with Bruno Fernandes as the No. 10 and Mason Mason in a forward position. So I’m sure they need a number six before the window closes.”
Amrabat had a commendable performance at the Artemio Franchi Stadium during the previous season, making a total of 49 appearances in all competitions. In his role as the midfield anchor for his team, he contributed by giving a single assist.
