'Man United to cancel Mason Mount contract if transfer fails' - Fans outraged

Man United fans have taken to social media in reaction to the latest news on Mason Mount’s long-term injury absence, with calls to sell him or terminate his contract.

The 25-year-old was forced off just 14 minutes into a dramatic Manchester derby, which saw the Red Devils snatch a last-gasp 2-1 Premier League victory over bitter rivals Manchester City.

Before his injury, the English international had been a regular under Ruben Amorim, featuring in all matches since his arrival at the club.

However, this latest setback, coming so soon after returning from a prior injury just a month ago, has left fans increasingly frustrated with Mount’s time at Old Trafford.

Earlier in the season, fans had already voiced concerns about Mount’s recurring injuries, but this latest blow, which could reportedly keep him sidelined until March [talkSPORT], has further tested their patience.

Football Insider opinion

The former Chelsea player has made just 33 appearances across all competitions since his move to Manchester United last year.

Signed for around £60 million [BBC Sport], there were high hopes that Mount could rejuvenate the midfield under Erik ten Hag. However, those expectations have fallen flat.

His output has been underwhelming, registering just one goal and one assist since joining the club. This season alone, he has already missed three games due to injury, following a disastrous first season where he missed 27 matches after an initial injury in September [Transfermarkt].

The United hierarchy are already reportedly considering selling Mount in upcoming transfer windows. This decision stems from a combination of reasons, including financial pressures related to profit and sustainability rules, and ongoing concerns about his injury record.

Fans seem to support this potential move from the club. One fan declared, “This has to be the end for Mount – it can’t continue”. Another suggested his contract “should be terminated in January”.

Some supporters recognised Mount’s talent but argued that it’s no longer enough to justify keeping him. “Regardless of how good a player he is”, one said, “the club should immediately sell”.
