Tottenham Fan Arrested for Abusing Manchester United's Mason Mount

On November 13, 2025, a 19-year-old Tottenham Hotspur fan was arrested for allegedly verbally abusing Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount during their Premier League match on November 11. The incident occurred at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the fan was removed from the crowd after a member of staff reported the alleged offensive comment to the police.
