Where the hell is Mason Mount? Joining Manchester United as a marquee signing for £55m, the creative midfielder hasn’t been seen since October and people are beginning to ask questions.
Was he involved in a deadly incident on firework night which has left him unable to play football? Did he move to the Saudi League without anybody knowing? Or does he simply not want to go through the humiliation of wearing a Manchester United jersey ever again?
Adding further intrigue, just last weekend the England international posted a dreamy photo with his arms around Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho, only for the internet to decide it was photoshopped and fake. The image was eventually pulled from circulation by United’s PR team.
Whatever’s going on, Masonists want answers.
While Paddy Power News searches for the truth surrounding Mount, our experts revisit other notorious porting disappearances over the years…

Newcastle’s Premier League title
