MANCHESTER UNITED fans fumed at Mason Mount after their side’s 2-0 defeat at Tottenham.
Mount, 24, made his second consecutive start for United since making his £60million switch from Chelsea this summer, and was subbed for the second game in a row too.
The England midfielder failed to make an impact on the game and was replaced by Facundo Pellistri in the 85th minute.
After the match, Mount was spotted talking to England team-mate James Maddison on the pitch.
The Spurs star had his arm draped around Mount and could be seen laughing.
Mount smiled in the moment, before walking off looking forlorn.

Others commented saying that Maddison would have been a better signing for United, having joined Spurs from Leicester for £40m.
One claimed: “James Maddison showed Mason Mount how to hoop today.”
A second reckoned: “Getting Mason Mount for £55m when James Maddison was available for £40m shows how clueless Erik Ten Haag is/was.”
While a third fumed: “Ten Hag saw Maddison in the market and decided to go for Mount.”
And another added: “Instead of Mason Mount, we could have had James Maddison… For less money!”
