Mason Mount\u2019s injury might have inadvertently prevented Manchester United from signing Ryan Gravenberch. The summer arrival will miss several weeks due to a minor injury that could have a major impact on Erik ten Hag\u2019s transfer business heading into the final week of the window.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mount was replaced in the 85th minute of United\u2019s 2-0 defeat at Tottenham last week. His absence will rule him out of the Red Devils\u2019 Premier League clash with Arsenal on September 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But it could also have a detrimental effect on United\u2019s long-term squad planning. Ten Hag has been linked with a move for Bayern Munich\u2019s Ryan Gravenberch in a bid to bolster his midfield.<\/p>\n
United\u2019s midfield stars have been criticised for their performances so far this season, and another addition has seemed likely. But Gravenberch will likely only sign if a current Red Devils star departs, it has been claimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scott McTominay has been strongly linked with a departure, with West Ham supposedly interested.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, Mount\u2019s injury is likely to keep McTominay at Old Trafford beyond the transfer window. Ten Hag cannot risk losing another midfielder with his options already sparse.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mount will hope that his injury does not prevent his manager from adding to his squad. The 24-year-old playmaker has already received criticism for his first two displays for United in the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Speaking on his Five<\/em> YouTube channel, the former defender said: \u201cYou can\u2019t judge a man after two games, you can\u2019t, because there\u2019d be players who became legends who wouldn\u2019t have been legends if they\u2019d been judged after two games and told to get out.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not here giving loads and loads of excuses to Mason, but that\u2019s a fact. Look at the Chelsea team in recent years, all the players coming in, it\u2019s hard to perform in that team because it\u2019s so all over the place. <\/p>\n \u201cThe team at the moment isn\u2019t playing well enough for individuals. The team isn\u2019t playing well enough yet, so that comes under the manager, 100 per-cent. He\u2019s got to get the team playing right. We have to see where he [Mason] fits in. I don\u2019t know where he was brought in to play yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
