Mount’s ιnjury against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday effectively ended his season for three weeks.

Initial evaluations suggested Mount would miss the matches against Nottingham Forest and Arsenal, but he was expected to make a full recovery in time for the international break.

However, the Daily Mail reports that doctors now worry Mount’s hamstring problem is more serious.

The Red Devils are therefore concerned that the English international may miss the next six weeks of activity.

Mount is now doubtful for Manchester United’s September 16 home Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The first Champions League group game for the team is planned for the week of September 18, and the Englishman may miss that as well.

The 24-year-old will be disappointed by the ιnjury setback, since he missed the last games of the 2022-23 season with Chelsea.

Mount had surgery and made a full recovery in time to participate in Man United’s preseason after signing with the club for £65 million from Chelsea.Mount has started the first two games of the Premier League season for the club, a 1-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers and a 2-0 loss to Spurs.

Man United’s pursuit of a new midfielder may be accelerated without Mount, and Scott McTominay’s future may be altered as a result.

There has been speculation that the Scotland international may leave the club before the transfer window closes on September 1, but he could end up staying to provide depth in the middle of the field if he doesn’t.

On Saturday, the Red Devils will play host to Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.
