I thought I would survive under Amorim… 102 billion glass body, ‘again again’ rises in 14 minutes → “We have to wait and see”

Mason Mount was replaced due to injury.

Manchester United won a 2-1 comeback victory over Manchester City in the 16th round of the 2024-25 Premier League (PL) season held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England at 1:30 am on the 16th (Korean time). With this, Manchester United ended its two-game losing streak in the league, while Manchester City fell into a slump of two-game losing streak in official matches.

The 195th Manchester derby. As it is a historic rivalry match in England, the desire of both teams to win was great. Manchester City, which has only won once in 10 official matches, desperately needed to turn things around, while Manchester United, which suffered its first consecutive league loss under manager Ruben Amorim, needed to continue its momentum from its win against Victoria Plzen.

Manchester United left Alejandro Garnazzo and Marcus Rashford out of the roster. Instead, Mount and Amad Diallo started. However, early in the first half, bad news struck Manchester United. Mount felt unwell after 14 minutes and collapsed on the ground. He was eventually replaced by Kobi Mainu after deciding that he could no longer play. Mount’s expression as he left the field was seriously frozen.

Manchester United suffered a blow in the 37th minute of the first half when Josko Gvardiol headed a pass from Kevin De Bruyne. However, Bruno Fernandes equalized the score in the 43rd minute of the second half when he got a penalty kick opportunity. They turned the game around in just 2 minutes. In the 45th minute of the second half, Diallo calmly scored a goal after receiving a pass from Lisandro Martinez from the back. The game ended with a thrilling comeback victory for Manchester United.

After the game, Manager Amorim talked about Mount. He said on the official Manchester United website, “He fits our style really well. He’s a very good player, so he’ll continue to fit in well. Even off the pitch, Mount is the type of person that I and our club want in this team. He felt something in his leg, not because of the sprint, but through the movement. It was unfortunate. It’s not about Mount’s body problem. It was a bad movement. He’ll recover. We need him.” He explained Mount’s condition.

Mount left Chelsea and transferred to Manchester United ahead of last season. Manchester United paid a huge transfer fee of 60 million pounds (about 102.3 billion won), and he raised expectations by giving him the number 7 jersey that Cristiano Ronaldo had worn until the 2022-23 season. However, he suffered from injuries throughout the season. He only played in 20 official matches, had 1 goal and 1 assist, and suffered from the stigma of being a wage thief.

He aimed to bounce back this season. He was given consistent opportunities in friendly matches, but was substituted after 45 minutes due to a hamstring injury right after the opening. He returned to the bench after three games, but suffered a head injury in the match against Tottenham Hotspur after only two games and was out for another month. Recently, he seemed to be making a comeback with the prospect of becoming a key player under manager Amorim, but he collapsed again.
