Gary Neville suggests where Mason Mount should play for Man United to improve
Manchester United legend Gary Neville berates Manchester United's midfield against Wolves, and suggests a new position for Mason Mount.
Mount was named in the starting lineup by Erik Ten Hag for the second consecutive league game, and he played until the 85th minute when he was subbed out for Facundo Pellistri.
Although the visitors dominated Tottenham in the first-half, which Mount was involved in, they failed to score and went on to suffer in the second half against a resurgent Spurs.
Pape Matar Sarr gave the hosts the lead in the 49th minute before an own goal by Lisandro Martinez gave them a 2-0 lead. Mount was subsequently subbed off for an expected superior offensive involvement from the young Uruguayan.
Mount's injury
Although he seemed fine upon coming off, the club's statement has now revealed that he is injured and will miss the visit of the Tricky Trees this weekend.
The club calls it a "small complaint," but it is expected that it will keep him out of action until at least the international break next month.
