Manchester United forked out an initial £55m to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea back in 2023. However, the midfielder hasn’t had the best of luck during his career when it comes to injuries.
The England international has fallen out of favour with the Three Lions as a result of his fitness issues, with Red Devils supporters yet to see the best of Mount in the Premier League.
Mount recently returned to the first-team fold with a cameo appearance towards the end of United’s Europa League victory over PAOK at Old Trafford, replacing Amad Diallo in the closing stages for his first game since late September.
But how many games has Mount missed in recent years, and what kind of injuries has he had? With help from Transfermarkt data, we’ve taken a look at Mount’s injury history at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford since 2022.

Ranking the 10 worst injuries in the Premier League era
There have been some horrendous injuries in the Premier League era, however, which one is the worst?
ByBrogan Clasper Pelvic injury, 7 games missed April 25, 2023 to May 31, 2023
Just weeks after making his return, Mount suffered a recurrence of his pelvic injury, which kept him out of the remainder of the Premier League season, leading him to undergo surgery on the problem.
The Blues would win just one of their seven final games without Mount, and his last appearance as a Chelsea player would prove to be the 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on 15th April 2023.

Calf injury, 21 games missed November 24, 2023 to March 13, 2024
Two months after his return, the injury issues were back for Mount, and a calf problem kept him out for a large part of the campaign.
Initial reports suggested that Mount would only be sidelined for a month, but that soon turned into four months, with the Red Devils man missing 21 games in all competitions.
During that time, Man Utd were dumped out of the Champions League, though they did reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in his absence (before going on to win the competition), with Mount marking his Premier League return with a goal against Brentford.

Mount would have been hoping that the 2024/25 season would be an injury-free campaign, but he suffered his first issue before the end of August.
The midfielder started the Premier League opener against Fulham and kept his place in the side the following week at Brighton & Hove Albion, but after suffering a hamstring injury, he was kept out of two top-flight games and an EFL Cup win over Barnsley.

After making his return from a hamstring injury against FC Twente in the Europa League, Mount was brought on at half-time in Man Utd’s 3-0 Premier League defeat to Tottenham.
However, he couldn’t make it to full-time after suffering a nasty head injury in a collision with Radu Dragusin and needed to be replaced. It summed up Mount’s woeful luck when it comes to staying fit at Old Trafford, with another period on the sidelines lasting five weeks.
