PAMount has suffered large spells out of the squad this season amid a hamstring problem.
And his withdrawal against City at the Etihad is the midfielder’s latest setback in United red.
Mount joined from West London in a £60million move last summer under Erik ten Hag.
But he has failed to hit the same heights that saw him lift the Champions League at Chelsea.
In fact, over the 18 months he has been at United, Mount has played a full 90 minutes of football ONCE – against Newcastle in the League Cup in November 2023.
United also travelled to the Premier League champions without Marcus Rashford or Alejandro Garnacho.
And manager Ruben Amorim appeared to suggest it was down to performances – both in training and on the pitch.
He said: “We try to evaluate everything training performance, game performances, engagement with team-mates, push their team-mates up.

“Everything is on the line when we analyse and try to choose the players. It is my selection. Simple.
“I don’t want to send a message it is simply an evaluation and they know it. The players are really, really smart.
“Everybody understands my decision and I have to choose. It is simple selection.
“Of course the context is difficult because we have to win games and we have a difficult situation now.
“I pay attention to everything, the way you eat, the way you put your clothes to go to a game. Everything. I make my evaluation and then I decide.”
