How much Mason Mount has cost Manchester United per game played as new injury emerges against Manchester City

Football can be a seriously cruel game sometimes – as Mason Mount found out against Manchester City.

The Manchester United✃ No.7 was handed a start for the Manchester derby in what was a huge show of faith from Ruben Amorim – who boldly left Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford out entirely.

ꦡHowever, the England international lasted just 14 minutes before going down with an injury – having already missed 13 games so far this season during a battle to regain full fitness.

Mason Mount𝔉 looked visibly frustrated as he trudged off to be replaced by Kobbie Mainoo – and it seems Manchester United fans alike are feeling annoyed by how the £60m signing’s career at Old Trafford is turning out based on Google Trends.

ౠMany swarmed to Google to ask questions such as Mason Mount transfer fee and Mason Mount salary – so let’s take a look at how much the man born in Portsmouth has cost the Red Devils per game.

How Mason Mount has proven to be poor value for money – so far

🎐Mount is still only 25 and has time to prove himself at Manchester United, but as things stand, he has been a poor investment.

꧂The Red Devils paid to sign him from Chelsea back in June 2023 – £55m upfront with the remaining £5m coming in additional payments.

At the time of writing, Mount, who has impressed Amorim💖, has made 32 appearances for Manchester United in that time, meaning he has cost £1.9m per game.

🌼That is – however – only taking his transfer fee into account.

Mason Mount salary

Mount, who Arsenal wanted to sign🌼 from Chelsea, has also been paid in wages since arriving in June 2023, which was 77 weeks and two days ago.

꧃Therefore, Manchester United have shelled out £19.3m on his salary.

☂It means Mount has cost the Red Devils a total of £79.3m since arriving from Chelsea, which, put against his 32 appearances, shows each game he plays for the club has cost £2.5m – a staggering amount.

🉐To make matters worse, he has only scored one goal and provided one assist in these 32 games.

🙈When you consider that Mount only had 12 months remaining on his contract at Chelsea when Manchester United bizarrely coughed up £60m – and therefore could have been signed for free in the summer of 2024 – this has to be considered one of the worst signings in recent Premier League history.
