To me it looks like a manganese deficiency. In the late stage. Going by the dark spots. They don’t look like fungal lesions or septoria.
So to me manganese. This could have happened from being too high in minerals especially iron and it shuts out absorption of manganese.
I can’t remember what you were using for your soil or nutrients but if it’s only one pot I’d say it’s something in that one pot or maybe you got heavy handed with nutrients/minerals on that one pot once in the past? The mangoes can be very temperamental believe me! And some will take almost no nutrients compared to most other plants.
An iron deficiency can look similar but tends to have more yellowing on the leaves. Iron deficiency can also be caused by too high in manganese.
Make sure your ph is sufficient for your media and make sure the nutrients are balanced maybe use chelated manganese for better absorption or you can use a foliar spray to speed up uptake. I’m not sure that it’s too drastic at the moment without looking at the plant and in comparison to the others maybe more photos would help. I think just keep up what you are doing see if it is getting worse and maybe drop back to just water for a few feeds.
Hope this helps plants look great.
