Mount came off in the 14th minute against City
Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount visited a specialist on Wednesday to determine the extent of his latest injury.
Mount was forced off in the 14th minute of Manchester United's 2-1 victory at City on Sunday with the third separate injury he has sustained this season.
Since Mount moved to United from Chelsea for £60million in July 2023, he has played in 33 out of a possible 77 matches due to suffering seven separate injuries.
The 25-year-old appeared crestfallen as he trudged off at the Etihad and six teammates consoled Mount on his way to the touchline. The England international will not be available for United's League Cup quarter-final against Tottenham on Thursday night and the club are waiting to discover the severity of the injury.

"No, he’s not available," head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed. "We will assess the amount of time, he’s seeing a specialist today so we’ll see. We will know more or less today (how serious it is).
"He’s really sad and in the dressing room he was really really sad, so we need to help him. When the player is in this moment with a lot of injuries and with this schedule without many training with all the squad, [it] makes the load he really needs, try to do it with exercise but it’s not the same.
"It’s hard and we have to maintain the load and we have to travel and with travelling you cannot train, so it’s really hard for them.
"We will try to find a better way to recover these kind of guys like Mount and Luke Shaw because after a few weeks and a few months they will be ready to cope with a lot of things."
