Manchester United fan and YouTuber Mark Goldbridge has dropped a major bombshell on Mason Mount's latest injury.
After working his way back to fitness and earning a starting spot in Ruben Amorim's starting XI for United's clash against Manchester City, things unravelled once again for Mount.
The 25-year-old cut an emotional figure as he was forced off with another injury after just 14 minutes, with Kobbie Mainoo coming on in his place.

Mount then took to social media to express his devastation but vowed to come back stronger than ever.
The former Chelsea man wrote on Instagram: "Words can’t portray how devastated I’m feeling right now, you could probably see the look on my face when it happened. I’ve said this before, but I will continue to give everything, get through this tough period and won’t stop until that’s achieved."
On Monday morning, Goldbridge took to social media to claim that Mount could be out for much longer than anticipated.
He wrote: "Mount out till March...forget it."
However, it has to be said that there has been no official confirmation from United concerning the time frame that the Englishman would be out for. Goldbridge's social media post came after unconfirmed reports over the severity of Mount's injury.
SPORTbible has contacted Manchester United for comment.
When asked about the severity of the injury, United boss Amorim said: "[He will be out for] several weeks.
"I don't know the exact date, but it's going to be for long. And that’s it, it's part of football, and you continue."
On Sunday afternoon, Mount was spotted watching from the stands at Old Trafford as United fell to a dismal defeat against Bournemouth.
Goals from Dean Huijsen, Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo sealed a massive 3-0 win for the visitors, meaning United will spend Christmas in the bottom half of the Premier League table for the first time.
