The midfielder completed a £60 million ($76m) transfer from Chelsea to Old Trafford in July of last year and has encountered a challenging debut season, marred by injuries that have restricted him to just 14 appearances across all competitions so far in the 2023-24 campaign.

Throughout his first season at the club, Mount has been conspicuously absent from media engagements, reportedly deliberately avoiding interviews with the press, as per ESPN. His departure from Chelsea appears to be a sensitive topic for him, with the England international seemingly preferring not to discuss it. However, there’s a consensus within Manchester United that Mount will eventually have to address his departure from the London club.

Recent reports suggest that Mount’s decision to leave Stamford Bridge for United wasn’t solely based on footballing reasons, adding to the complexity of the matter. Nonetheless, his recent goal-scoring cameo in the Premier League, his first appearance since November, signals his desire to play a more significant role for Erik ten Hag’s squad for the remainder of the season.

Mount’s potential inclusion in the starting lineup for United’s upcoming visit to Stamford Bridge on Thursday will draw considerable attention, marking his return to face Chelsea since his transfer. Manchester United currently occupy sixth place in the league standings, while Chelsea are positioned 12th.
