Mount’s Availability Rate Falls Below 50%! Red Devils Fans Mock: He Doesn’t Deserve the No. 7 Jersey, We’ve Been Had by Chelsea

The new season has just begun and Mount is injured again. Recently, Manchester United announced that Mount has suffered a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for several weeks. It should be noted that since joining Manchester United from Chelsea, Mount has only made 23 appearances so far, yet he has missed as many as 27 games due to injuries. Clearly, after Manchester United signed Mount from Chelsea for £55 million last season, his availability rate has been less than 50%.

Following this injury, Mount stated, “I will do my utmost to return to my best form as soon as possible to help the team.” However, Mount’s comments did not sit well with the Red Devils fans, who criticized and ridiculed him on social media: “It’s obvious we’ve been had by Chelsea. We paid a high transfer fee and gave Mount a high salary, but he can’t help us. So, can we take the No. 7 jersey off Mount and give it to Garnacho?”

Last summer transfer window, Manchester United signed Mount from Chelsea, but he repeatedly faced injuries after joining, which led to Mount making only 20 appearances for Manchester United last season, scoring only one goal and providing one assist during this period. In the new season, Ten Hag chose to continue believing in Mount, starting him in the Community Shield and the first two rounds of the Premier League. However, during the Premier League match against Brighton, Mount suffered a hamstring injury and will be out for several weeks.

In the third round of the Premier League, Manchester United will face Liverpool at Old Trafford. On the eve of this highly anticipated clash, Ten Hag is facing a shortage of players, as the injury list has grown to six players: Hojlund, Joor, Lindelöf, Luke Shaw, Malacia, and Mount. Under such circumstances, whether Manchester United can hold off the in-form Liverpool at home remains to be seen.
