Mason Mount accused of 'ducking Chelsea' as fans call for Man Utd outcast's contract to be 'terminated' after latest injury update

<p>Mount's journey with United has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erik-ten-hag-man-utd-signings-ranked/blte734c9451e89fd5e" target="_blank">nothing short of a nightmare</a>. Since joining the club from Chelsea, he has been plagued with multiple injuries and missed most of last season. In the 2024-25 campaign, the midfielder has been sidelined with a head injury since appearing for the Red Devils in their 3-0 loss to Tottenham in the Premier League in September. However, on Monday, United released a <a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/mason-mount-in-full-training-ahead-of-november-international-break" target="_blank">statement</a> to confirm that the England international has finally returned to training.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mount's latest return from injury has sparked an influx of disparaging comments on social media.</p><p>A <a href="https://x.com/CarefreeLewisG/status/1853503533489823775" target="_blank">Chelsea fan</a> on X claimed that Mount was waiting for United's clash with his former club Chelsea to pass before he re-joined training. The account named @CarefreeLewisG wrote: "Ducked Chelsea."</p><p>Another Blues supporter <a href="https://x.com/evickss/status/1853501230258979137" target="_blank">Evicks</a> is enjoying the player's misery at Old Trafford as he wrote: "This boy has got more injuries than G/A for Manchester United since signing for them from Chelsea. The things we love to see."</p><p>@<a href="https://x.com/BradleyCarl256/status/1853499463597477980" target="_blank">BradleyCarl256</a> added: "3 games away from another 4-month injury."</p><p>Meanwhile, a Man Utd fan named <a href="https://x.com/EvansKE24/status/1853497969053512034" target="_blank">Sober Mind</a> has even urged United to release Mount. He said: "Mount contract should be terminated."</p><p><a href="https://x.com/DebbyChelsea10/status/1853497242147065862" target="_blank">@DebbyChelsea10</a> slammed the midfielder as she wrote: "He offers nothing btw."</p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Along with Mount, Tyrell Malacia has also returned to the training pitch. Malacia has not played for United since the 2022-23 season, having spent more than a year on the sidelines after undergoing knee surgery in the summer of 2023.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ruud van Nistelrooy will be present on the touchline in his penultimate game as interim coach of United on Thursday night as they take on PAOK in a Europa League clash. It is unlikely that Mount will be involved as United have confirmed he will "not be rushed back" into action.</p>
