Manchester United continue to deal with a lengthy injury list as the season edges towards its final stretch.

Ruben Amorim is expected to shuffle his squad in the coming weeks as several first-team players remain unavailable.

With Chrisitan Eriksen set to depart and Casemiro’s future uncertain, midfield reinforcements are high on the club’s summer agenda.

Despite a lack of consistency in results, the club’s medical department has taken centre stage in recent days due to key concerns.

One midfielder, in particular, could now face a turning point in his United career depending on what happens next.

Mason Mount is the player at the centre of internal discussions.

After finally returning from injury in the defeat to Nottingham Forest, Mason Mount was expected to earn a run of games under Amorim.

Instead, reports now suggest he could face as long as six months on the sidelines depending on the path United take.

It’s understood that a private clinic in Switzerland has been identified as a potential long-term solution to resolve his recurring injuries, as reported by United Scout on X.

Although nothing has been finalised, the club believes this specialist programme could significantly reduce the frequency of his setbacks.

The major downside is the recovery time, with Mason Mount potentially unavailable for half of the next campaign if he undergoes the treatment.

At 26, and with a hefty price tag following his £55 million switch from Chelsea, United cannot afford to see his career stall further.

Mason Mount was expected to be one of the key pillars in United’s new midfield but has only managed a handful of appearances so far.

The England international’s stats remain underwhelming since his move, with just one goal and one assist to his name.

His wages, reported at £250,000 per week, have made the lack of return even more frustrating for supporters.

The club’s decision in the coming weeks will signal whether Mount remains in their long-term plans or becomes another case of wasted potential.

Either way, something has to change before his Old Trafford spell becomes defined by injuries rather than influence.
