Mason Mount Remains in Man United’s Future Plans Despite Injuries

Manchester, England — Mason Mount is still in the plans of Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, despite uncertainty surrounding his future at the club. Sources shared that Amorim is counting on the high-earning midfielder to prove his value in the coming weeks.

Mount, 26, scored his second goal for United on May 4 as they fell to a 4-3 defeat in a thrilling away match. Having recently returned from a lengthy injury hiatus, Mount aims to solidify his place in the squad after a series of injuries hampered his performances.

“Mason is well-liked by the management, and we want him to have a key role moving forward,” a source close to the club revealed. Despite the backing from Amorim, there are concerns as INEOS executives are looking to reduce high wages at the club.

Currently sitting on a contract worth £250,000 a week until June 2028, Mount joined United from Chelsea in 2023 for an initial fee of £55 million, potentially escalating to £60 million with add-ons. Yet, his time has been plagued by injuries, limiting him to just 41 appearances, where he has two goals and one assist.

In a separate context, Real Betis player Luiz Henrique is expected to leave the club despite his resurgence in form since transferring from United. As both players navigate uncertain futures, Mount’s latest contribution—to score a goal against Brentford—indicates his potential to still influence United’s season.

Amorim emphasizes Mount’s intelligence and adaptability on the pitch, often advising him to manage his eagerness in training. The manager believes that Mount’s presence could be beneficial as United seeks to bolster their squad following a disappointing league campaign that currently positions them in 15th place.

As the club gears up for a summer revamp, Amorim’s commitment to Mount suggests that the midfielder may yet play an integral part in United’s plans moving forward, especially as they aim for success in the Europa League.

Mount’s fitness and form in the closing weeks of the season will be crucial as he aims to help United reclaim its competitive edge.
