Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit believes Mason Mount will struggle at Manchester United.

After a sluggish start since his arrival from Chelsea, Mount is now facing six weeks out due to injury.

Petit told BettingSites.co.uk: "I was very frustrated Mason Mount asked to leave Chelsea. We could feel his frustration for months last season. He was injured for a while and he didn't play too many games towards the end.

"His contract issues had been really poorly managed by the club. I think he is suffering from last season right now and the fact that he signed for Manchester United means he is under huge pressure. He has been struggling in midfield and Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount is not working at all at the moment.

"Maybe it will work in the future but at the moment it's not working at all. With all the money that Chelsea have spent in the last eighteen months they are not able to give a proper respectful contract to one of their homegrown English players?"
