Former Manchester United assistant manager, Rene Meulensteen, recently gave a warning to Mason Mount, who could potentially be sold by the club. Mount, who joined United from Chelsea for a record-breaking fee last summer, had been a highly anticipated addition to the team. However, his performance last season was underwhelming due to injuries and a loss of form, leading to concerns about his future with the club.
Meulensteen, who worked alongside legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson at United, believes that Mount's situation is similar to that of Donny van de Beek, who was recently sold by the club at a significant loss. He also mentioned Christian Eriksen, who faced similar challenges at the club, as they were all competing for the same position as star player Bruno Fernandes.
According to Meulensteen, Mount's best position is as an advanced eight, but with United's current system, it is difficult to fit him in. He suggests that the club should consider playing with one six and two eights or two tens in order to utilize Mount's strengths on the pitch. The former coach also emphasized the importance of rotation, as Ferguson did during his time at the club, to accommodate different playing styles.
Mount will be looking to revive his career this season and make a strong impact for United. The team's first game of the 2024-25 campaign against Fulham will be a crucial opportunity for him to prove himself. Football pundit Alan Shearer also shared his thoughts on United, stating that the pressure will be on manager Erik ten Hag to improve the team's performance in the league this season.
Bacary Sagna, a former Premier League defender, believes that Mount has struggled to adapt since leaving his boyhood club Chelsea. He acknowledges the pressure that comes with being a high-profile signing for a top club like United, and the need for time to adjust. Sagna also points out the importance of fans showing support and love for players, as it can make a significant difference in their performance on the pitch.
In the end, it remains to be seen how Mount's career at Manchester United will unfold. But with the right support and opportunities, he has the potential to become a key player for the team. As for the fans, they will continue to closely follow Mount's progress and hope for him to reach his full potential at the club.
