• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Mount was unable to see the game out as he was forced from the field in the final 10 minutes. The former Chelsea star was replaced by Amad Diallo after taking a heavy blow to the head when challenging for the ball with Spurs defender Radu Dragusin.

• WHAT MOUNT SAID

  With blood pouring from a nasty cut, Mount was escorted back to the dressing room by United’s medical team. He has revealed that stitches were required in order to patch him up, but the 25-year-old was able to force a smile in a social media post that included the caption: “I’m all good, just a scratch. Thanks for all the messages.”

• WHAT NEXT?

  Mount has endured an injury-ravaged spell at United on the back of his £60 million ($80m) transfer from Chelsea in the summer of 2023 – with calf and hamstring problems holding him back. He appears to have avoided any lasting damage this time around and will hope to convince manager Erik ten Hag that he is the man to provide cover for Fernandes during the Portuguese’s upcoming suspension.
