Gabby Agbonlahor<\/strong> has insisted Man United newcomer Mason Mount faces a “massive struggle” to get back into the England squad. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, suggested Conor Gallagher, James Ward-Prowse and James Maddison are ahead of the 24-year-old in the running – despite him being a “favourite” of Gareth Southgate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mount has managed just seven appearances totalling 425 minutes of action since his reported<\/a> \u00a355million summer move to Man United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Injury has limited his involvement but he was an unused substitute as Erik ten Hag’s side won 1-0 against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday (24 October).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The midfielder, who has amassed 36 England caps, has missed out on Southgate’s last three international squads despite previously being a regular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malta (17 November) and North Macedonia (20 November) are the Three Lions’ next opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agbonlahor told Football Insider<\/strong>\u2019s Ewan Kingsbury: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a massive struggle to get back in that England squad for Mount.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a favourite of Southgate\u2019s, we\u2019ve all called him Southgate\u2019s son for years – but this is where he has to be left out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook at the position he plays in – even Ward-Prowse can\u2019t get in with the form he\u2019s in.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Man<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s up against Gallagher, Maddison, Bellingham, Foden – he\u2019s just not going to get in.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only way he can get in is by starting to perform at Man United. At the moment that doesn\u2019t look likely.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
