Mount came on as a sub for Kobbie Mainoo during the disastrous 3-0 loss at Old Trafford.
The 25-year-old lasted just 40 minutes before being forced off after a clash of heads with Radu Dragusin.
Mount suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head, with blood seen pouring from the wound.
He was led from the field by medical staff and replaced by Amad Diallo.
Mount updated concerned fans late on Sunday night via his Instagram page.
Posting a selfie of him receiving stitches, the ex-Chelsea star wrote: “I’m all good, just a scratch.
“Thanks for all the messages.”
Mount made his return from a hamstring injury in last week’s disappointing 1-1 Europa League draw with FC Twente.

Man Utd ratings vs Tottenham
MANCHESTER UNITED suffered a 3-0 thrashing against Tottenham at Old Trafford.
Captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off in the first half for fouling James Maddison, forcing Erik Ten Hag’s side to play with 10 men against Ange Postecoglou’s team.
After back-to-back draws against Crystal Palace and FC Twente fans hoped United would redeem themselves against Spurs.
However, the match at Old Trafford quickly turned sour. Brennan Johnson scored early and things worsened when Fernandes was sent off allowing Spurs to extend their lead to 3-0.
And here is how SunSports Charlie Wyett rated the Manchester United stars.
Andre Onana – 5
Stood his ground to deliver a good save from Timo Werner who was clean through – no chance for either goal.
Noussair Mazraoui – 5
First in the refs’ book for chopping down Destiny Udogie. Could also have blocked Micky van de Ven for the goal. Just watched Solanke make it 3-0.
Matthijs de Ligt – 4
Shocking first half. Failed to cut out the cross from Micky van de Ven which led to the first goal.
Lisandro Martinez – 5
Switched off for the Spurs goal and was drawn to the ball and Johnson was left unmarked.
Diogo Dalot – 5
Gave the ball away in dangerous areas and struggled against Johnson.
Manuel Ugarte – 5
Suffered a stinker and was lucky to last until the 73rd minute.
Kobbie Mainoo – 5
Not one of his better performances and was taken off just before half-time following Fernandes’ sending-off.
Marcus Rashford – 5
Over-ran the ball for Tottenham’s first. Way off the pace.
Bruno Fernandes – 4
Arguably the worst captain in United’s history. Deserved red card for his challenge on James Maddison.
Alejandro Garnacho – 6
Had United’s only chance in the first half but hit the outside of the post. Improved in the second half.
Joshua Zirkzee – 5
Looked completely lost up front – threatening to be another poor Erik ten Hag signing. Replaced at half-time.
Subs:
Mount (for Mainoo 45) 5, Casemiro (for Zirkzee 46) 7, Hojlund (for Rashford 73) 5, Eriksen (for Ugarte 73) 5.
His odds plummeted after the 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford, where his team were booed off.
He will be without Bruno Fernandes for the next three games after the United captain was given a straight red card against Spurs.
Mainoo also picked up a knock during the game, with Ten Hag admitting he is “concerned” about the England star’s fitness.
Following Sunday’s loss, the United boss said: “I can’t say at the moment [about Mainoo’s injury].
“I have to find out but, of course, when a player is coming off before half-time already, then there are some concerns.”
Addressing Mount’s injury, he continued: “I have seen how Mason came off.
“He was bleeding so it’s clear there are some problems there and we have to see how they recover in the coming days.”
