Why Man United Want Mason Mount So Badly

- Despite their need for a striker and a goalkeeper seemingly far more important to Manchester United's summer transfer business, some clues in Erik Ten Hag's approach last season have hinted at the huge importance of a player like Mason Mount.

One thing I noticed last season was that Martinez's ability to break a press with a vertical pass into midfield was excellent but often the receiving midfielders weren't comfortable taking the ball on the half turn and progressing to the final third. A lot of our attacks either broke down or slowed down at this point and we ended up going long to the wingers to cut out this step.
Now that we've got a solid ball playing defender, we desperatly need a midfielder with the ability to receive the ball in space on the half turn and progress it to the likes of Rashford and Antony quickly. It looks like Mount fits this role perfectly, while having the ability to chip in with goals and assists. He will also bring down the age of our midfield.
That player is FDJ
This point about Martinez is so good and I’m furious I didn’t think to include it
@@FourFourTwo 🤣🤣
Yea, McTominay is absolutely terrible at this, you'd often see him hiding behind an opposition player, or playing it sideways instead of turning on the ball.
And Fred in this position would try to switch it, and end up hitting it into the stands if he's under the slightest bit of pressure.
And the little we've seen of DVB last season suggests he'd be so far forward that he'd be in danger of being offside.
@@FourFourTwodon't worry this is an excellent informative video thank you 💯😊
As a Chelsea fan, I'm absolutely gutted. He does so much behind the scenes that you only really see when you watch him regularly. United have basically got Ji-sung Park 2.0 on their hands.
thats great comparison
That's what I hear from Chelsea fans. I'm personally excited but I know some united fans aren't excited as it's not a huge marquee signing. I'm over the moon.
@@haynsrfrmost of the people who are moaning and bitching about this signing, don’t have very good footballing brains in my opinion and/or are jealous of what players our rivals are currently making, even though the transfer window has barely started.
If we can also add a top ball-playing goalkeeper ie Andre Onana and a world-class striker such as Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen to this team, it will completely transform the way we play next season.
We will be able to play far higher up the pitch and win the ball back far higher as well, because both Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes are two of the hardest working, and versatile players, in the league.
I’m buzzing at this signing too, because I’ve always rated Mason Mount; I was terrified at the thought he may go to Liverpool instead.
Don't compare to Ji Sung Park there are levels to this game
Mason is not a bad one ... we will need a new right back...a new center back ...and a striker ...basically if the glazers leave and we get five good players in ... we will be in business next season
If Ten Hag wants him, we just gotta trust Ten Hag. He has earned it.
Antony?

All world class,

@@OSEseanhe was good start of the season. It’s obvious he’s not the same player after his heart attack. He’s good for playing fewer games rather than many.
Finally some really decent football content and analysis. So much of it on RUclips is click bait and crap. More of this please.
If we get him. This is the video that got me excited.

Finally someone has explained this signing properly, I would also add United has plenty of midfielders that like to naturally play in the left channel and not much in the right channel. Mason Mount has played there a lot for Chelsea and would bring a nice balance to United’s midfield. I’m really excited about this signing, hopefully we can now sell both Fred and Dean which will allow us to spend on more positions.
I’m so glad that someone has made this video, this is what I’ve been saying about Mount for ages. Ten Hag tried this formation a few times with Fred playing this role, and our best performances of the season were those games. The problem is, Fred isn’t quite good enough on the ball to start there all season. Mount is the only quality player who can play this role perfectly. This also suits Donny VDB perfectly. He’s very good at everything mentioned in this video, and I honestly hope that ETH gives him one last chance. He’s been very poor as a lone CAM and I really dislike him in that role, however, when he’s played deeper next to Casemiro, he’s really shown how good he is on the ball, and at receiving the ball in tight spaces, making lots of intelligent passes to keep possession. I know the fan base is tired of him, but I really hope that ETH gives him one more chance. VDB and Fred as backups to Mount could even mean that we don’t need to sign the likes of Rabiot, as long as at least one of the two can find some form. I also think Sancho would be incredible in this role, weirdly. Great at intense pressing, picks up intelligent positions, his best attribute is his link up play and short, progressive passes. With his lack of aggression and somehow the inability to take a man on, I think a deeper role would suit him really well. I’m excited to see this in action, I really think this could transform us in a way that not many people are expecting.
You're right on VDB, as a lone CAM he is always looking to score and he is always in the box. However, I noticed that when he played deeper alongside a good CDM like Matic, he was more creative and more on the ball. He made crunch tackles and was better overall.
However, I think the Rabiot signing would help with the CDM role as we don't have a direct replacement for CASEMIRO and I actually believe a CDM shd be a priority signing for us so we can release Mc-Fred. Even if we were to get an understudy CDM who can also play as an 8, but very good at the 6. Then our midfield would be sorted and we can look at Strikers next.
My other thought on the Mount signing is that Bruno might be made the 8, the one who carries the ball from defense to attack, like FDJ and Mount is the 10. Bruno played as the other 6 alongside CASEMIRO and he looked so good in that role at some point last season.
@@keithrobin6566 Yeah, I like VDB a lot more when he’s able to get on the ball a lot more and show his real ability. Apparently we’ve just missed out on Rabiot as he’s signed a new contract with Juventus. We’ve also missed out on Tielemans and Thuram, who were both great options on a free. I hate how slowly we move in transfer windows, even Thuram alone would’ve saved us so much money that we really need elsewhere, especially now that De Gea has gone. I do 100% agree that we need a CDM, tho. It should be one of our main priorities, yet I see no rumours about it at all. Lavia is expensive (around £50m), but he’d be a perfect backup to Casemiro. Hopefully we can get VDB or Fred on some form so we don’t need another backup CM. I don’t trust Eriksen after his form towards the end of last season tbh, he was never the same after the injury. He also doesn’t fit into the new system. Bruno was unbelievable in a deeper position, idk why ETH didn’t experiment more with him there, but he seems to prefer him in a more advanced position. Our best performance when Casemiro was injured was actually with Bruno playing as the deepest midfielder, and Mctominay playing an attacking b2b role next to him. Maybe that could be an option if Casemiro is out, with Bruno, Fred/VDB and Mount all in the same midfield.
@@oscarjenkins7505Thuram the forward is free, not the CDM at Nice.
@@skidan4real Yeah, I was talking about the forward. He would've been a bargain to get in as a backup to whoever we sign as a starter. We'll probably end up spending £50m+ on a backup instead.
Didn’t want Mount at first but he’s growing on me ngl
Just pay the 65 mil United... My God Not another Sancho, De Jong Type Saga
@@kenmay5532but theres a difference now cause mounts contract expires next year so its chelsea that needs to accept a bid. If not he might leave on free agency, so what 50 mil for chelsea or none and lose mount either way
@@cockernadan5283 Yea if you are so confident you'd get him on free agency.. then just quit the bid and pour all that money into Kane.... Arsenal has Haverts and Rice
@@kenmay5532 Actually we'll put that money on caicedo
@@kenmay5532 Dont be daft. You dont have rice yet. And arsenal has nth to do with this post or comment so i dont get why youre mentioning arsenal, theyre prime bottlers. And no one is dumb enough to splurge that much on kane, because spurs are intent on keeping him. Why do you think only bayern is interested rn? Chelsea asked for 80 and now theyre willing to talk at 55, who do u think is gonna crack first? The team thats at risk of losing a player, or the team that has nth to lose?
Edit: congrats arsenal does in fact have rice.
Brilliant video. This is what quality football content should look like.
Always been a Mason Mount fan ever since Lampard introduced him to the scene 3 years ago. I’d watch Chelsea games to see him play , he is a risingballer, he has got that grit . So happy we signed him . Now we need new Owners , Oshimen & Onana . HolaManU !!
I say we need a CASEMIRO understudy first, Sts next then a CB. GK can be last
@@keithrobin6566 so u want Tom Heaton in goal next season ?
You killed it 💥🤙... I think he is so underrated... as a united fan ,i became a mason mouth fan after watching that champions league final. What a player. Big big loss for chelsea and a gigantic addition for united
I have to say I'm one of the Dads (and a Utd fan) who's always watched England and wondered how he gets a game, so found this really interesting....here's hoping there's something to it....would love to see us being able to go toe to toe with the Citys, Arsenals and Lpools of the world and not just have to rely on counter attack...and despite loving Eriksen so much for the silk he brings, I do think he's a bit of a luxury player in the big games and gets found out a bit defensively when he's asked to play next to Casemiro....
Came here to convince myself that he is good enough after the here we go, I think we'll appreciate him the more he plays
*if and also 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mason went to the school I teach at. I met him just before the last Euros. Great guy; sad for my Chelsea supporting cousins, but love Utd so, Ray Wilkins rides again. ❤
Dare I say this makes me a lot more optimistic about how he might fit in. Honestly underestimated his defensive contributions… let’s see if he can play the 8 consistently.
One thing I always found interesting was that every Chelsea manager and fan always rated Mount highly, while other fans never seem to rate him, that makes me think he has something that doesn't always show up on the stats page that only people who watch him every week see. While I don't think he is a world-class player, I do think he is someone that is worth getting.
He isn’t at the moment, but he has the sort of profile that could age like fine wine. He’s got a good football IQ, I can imagine him hitting his peak around 30 if he stays healthy.
Mount, Onana, hojlund/kolo muani/goncalo Ramos, axel disasi would cap off an excellent transfer window in addition to major sales of some deadwood.
We need another 6 once case is suspended or injured we’re fucked
@@davidifeionel3129exactly 💯. I would say that should be a priority signing. I wouldn't mind us missing out on a striker as long as we get that CDM who can also play as an 8. When CASEMIRO was out, we lost shape and stability.
Besides getting a striker is irrelevant as long as Rashy and Antony are not willing to create chances for him, they are both trying to score and ignoring our 9s. Yes, Weghorst wasn't the best, but how many times did those two mess up yet Weghorst was open.
Mason Mount is a very under rated prem player - he was under appreciated at Chelsea and Man United is very lucky to get him.
under appreciated? He got more game time than every other player. You lot just be chatting shit
this aged like milk
Why this is a great signing?
- he is young, full of potential and we have seen how ETG can develop players
- in training he will be learning from Eriksen, Casemiro, Fernandes
Very very exciting indeed.
This is why tenhag wants mount 10:10
basically, he liked multi positioning players when he was in ajax
Blind, Berghuis, Timber are them
I'm happy we got him, he's upgrade for eriksen we've missed last season. "When" casemiro gets suspended Mount would fill in the defensive work along with another no.8. Most importantly Mount is a teachers pet and endeared to every chelsea faithful, he has the age and passion and does the required running and compliments Bruno the best.
All the other alternatives touted have record of bad locker room track record (rabiot, caicedo etc). And also this feels like somewhat of an ultimatum of sorts from ten hag to get the deal over which shows he already has all the plans in place for Mount to thrive.
No, we don't need a makeshift CDM for when CASEMIRO is out, we need a read CDM. Even if we were to get an understudy. Someone who loves to defend in the midfield and develop that player. WE NEED A 2ND CDM. Can't you guys realize this?
@@keithrobin6566 exactly we need a pure dm that is young and a backup to case
5:50 its crazy that front 5 won the Champions League just a few years ago lol. I think Mount will be a great signing for us.
Great video👍. Had no clue why we were signing Mount. Don't think the deal is worth it if we won't have enough money to get a striker and a keeper but if we do it sounds like a great transfer
Don't be fooled he is bang average
Kane 110 + Onana 45 + Mount 55 = $210 million
@@almac9203bet you you didn’t even watch the video
@@kenmay5532Kane isn't 110 he is 60
You got yourself to blame for getting rid of De Gea, there was no reason to replace him this season
your explanation of how precise that mount's pass to havertz is incredibly accurate cos havertz could literally only take one touch before ederson got to the ball and he got a touch still
Excellent, presentation. I have changed my mind on Mason Mount now… glad we’ve nabbed him. I must say, I thought that Maddison was the better “value buy”, but seeing your superb video explaining Mason’s “extra benefits of his all round game (pressing, positional cover etc.), I am a total convert. Lets hope we also do get a competent No. 9, along with Diogo Costa … and then we’re all set up to at least ‘Mount’ a challenge for the title…. excuse the pun!
Great stuff, even with all the info and analysis out there you still managed to present the context in a refreshing manner
You’ve won me with your use of a Subbuteo set!
One more thing to add...
What is the main difference between this season and previous 3 years? Most of the lineup is similar (or same). Midfield played solid. Defense was solid. The biggest difference was Mount in form in previous years dragging us into TOP4 offensively and Mount being out of form/injured, where nobody else had no impact to help that.
Basically Mount was the only player, who worked properly in offensive part of the game (except of wingbacks). And nobody was able to replace his input. Once he was injured, our numbers went from mediocre to terrible. And did not matter if we played Felix, Noni, Sterling or anybody else.
Even this season - we were never doing really well this season. But look at the results and play. Until March Mount was playing. We had some wins, mostly tied the matches. Since his last match 4th March, we had 1 win, 4 ties, 8 loses. You can blame Lampard, but wasnt it partially us missing the most influential player in the team?
Never rated mason mount. But this video is changing my mind
Perfect analysis, you are the second person who understands Mount signing like I do
after all the saga on Frankie djong, we were not that much in to cacemerio, look how he took our heart, Martinez is also another and am unable to rule out Weg Horst either because he did some job done and it was a panic loan after the injuries in mid season, but if ETG put his time and dedication to sign some one believe me its because he is about to cook us something tantalising.
Even for Mount himself, he’ll be benefit from a system that’s a better fit and a manager who knows how to use him effectively.
Chelsea are gonna have a hard time if they are having to sell players like Mason Mount. Reminds me of the Ander Herrera exit from Man United.
I wasn't sure exactly why it was Mason but this video makes it very clear.
Nice.
Don't forget that Onana will be crucial to starting many attacks and us being able to push up now with our defence
This also explains well the dynamic with liverpool's midfield where szob will be more the fernandes and Mac allister will be more the 'mount' kind of role
Very good video. I think it is a great signing. Love Onana as well. Worst case we get a great striker next year
Greaaaat content. I've seen a lot of analysis. This is possibly the best.
Mount was treated so badly after giving 18 years to Chelsea . Utd are going to get a monster of a player this is the buy of the season no matter what else happens in the transfer market true Chelsea fans adore him the media should be ashamed by allowing Boehly to dictate he’s agenda through them
Mount learning from Eriksen is a very interesting prospect.
Could have a player like Mata.
this is a great video. 2 minutes in and you explained this better than the dudes on Peecock
Woah.....turns out Mount is a good player after all....
United want plsyers but we never get them they always mess up
@@triciahayward5490 we got him 😁
The best video explaining mount I've seen
Brilliant assessment here. Subscribed, liked and commented for the very first time.
Nice analysis by Eriksen on Eriksen himself
Been waiting for this lol
Brilliant analysis! Spot on.
Absolute great video, I'm sold now 😂
I believe mount is a great signing, maybe up to Licha level last season. We would still require a world class no 9, but with mount in the team, perhaps it would unlock more scorers among the players that would sum up to the single no 9 (if in the end we dont get the no 9 we wanted).
Thank you for the fantastic video
United fans who don't want him have lost their head. Also sick of hearing united fans say they need another 6. Mount goes in as a first 11 choice, a 6 would be a backup.
Great video. A blend of stats and eye tests. You always need both to assess a player.
This video just proved how good Bruno is
I don’t want Mason Mount at the Theatre Of Dreams but I trust Ten Hag and I believe that he has seen something we can’t all see yet so let’s hope for the best.
9:36 bro casually announced his shirt number 7 days before it was announced
Beautifully explained
When Mason Mount has a war maneuver based on light speed physics named after him, he might be in same league as Captain Picard
I still don't know why United want Mount because I spent the whole video staring at the thread hanging off his shirt
This has shifted my opinion on the Mount acquisition. Now I'm satisfied we're getting him. I still think we need a secondary CDM to help Casemiro kill off the games in the latter minutes.
Get rid of mctominay and Fred, bring in Amrabat. Means we can bring on Erisksen for Mount in the 60th minute if we need a goal, or Amrabat to defend a lead. Would actually start the season with a seemingly strong midfield bench.
What you described in the first 5mins seems to suit Fred perfectly
Midfield is the strongest area of the squad? WHAT. Literally the place in the team where all our problems have been..
Great video. I think it's increasingly likely to expect only 3 signings at United this summer, Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and that mystery Striker. Honestly we do need Caicedo as well with his versatility as an 8 and 6 (can stand in for Casemiro too), but I don't know what Ten Hag is thinking.
The money is not available
Hohooo you forget how shit we were without casemiro we NEED caicedo after seeing how casemiro kept getting booked and Godforbid he has a long term injury..our season is done
we still need a backup 6 tbh

Thanks man! 🙏
Awesome content
If we get mount from 2 3 seasons ago be a good addition
Mount is not a CM... How do you expect him to play deeper than Fernandes?!
United's midfield is literally the weakest part of the squad, not the strongest. Their back line is the strongest part of the squad by a wide margin.
Great video now I understand the situation a lot better ty
Fernandes and Mount in the same team doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Very different players, but they're both best deployed in the same position, CAM. Mount will need to adjust his game if this is going to work. To be fair, he's the kind of player who is capable of that. I rate Mason Mount, but I'm not convinced this'll be the great signing some people think.
Im actually kinda getting hyped about this signing, in ten hag we trust. Now get hojlund and onana in!
Good analysis mate
I keep saying. Forget caicedo to Arsenal, Arsenal should go for Mount. Most an ideal Xhaka replacement. That said signing Havertz doesn't seem like that's happening
🤣🤣🤣
Mount said clearly he only want United lol
this did not age well
@@yellfire i didnt say Arsenal signed Mount lmao, i said they should go for him...
as tenacious as Fred but technically better so he won’t lose possession as often. Now a keeper who can play out from the back and a top scorer to compete with Rashford
This is great stuff. Thanks!
That Seinfeld impression was incredible
if you look at scott mctominay postion in the youth academy he was a foward so it’s weird that they try and make him a cdm now
Adaaam😃😃never knew you had a thing aside from what culture this is nice 🤙
Great insight mate
People who don't think Mount is any good watch football through a fun house mirror
He is trash 🗑️. Only desperate United fans rate him. Even Chelsea fans don't rate him like this. Joke signing
Exactly, even though Caicedo is better all around i would take Mount because he fits our style of play, Caicedo can go to Liverpool and Chelsea where they play metal rock and roll football.
Mount’s turning, attacking and through ball passing is what we need, we don’t need Paul Pogba, Yaya Toure style playing Caicedo, they’re proper holding midfielder and should be used as such, Mount is an 8
@@Eye-it-azzand don’t forget mount shoring frm far also… and u knw Eriksen got 5% of scoring but got 1% becz couldn’t shot frm far.. and mount got that ability I say this to people I’ll take mount becz we need that attacking wise too much defens not too good
One vid an iam subscribing haha nice
Accurate ❤️
I was waiting for this
I'm cautiously optimistic, but years of watching United sign players like this only to play them as if they were a speedy dribbler and sell them once they inevitably fail to magically become fast enough to do that has left scars on my psyche! 😄
Great Video but that backing music is infuriating by the end of the video
here after fabrizio said here we go mount to man utd
Prime Pogba would be a beast in this position. We should have signed Erik ten Hag earlier
Confirmed deal just had been agreed with both clubs 55mill plus 5 mil add ons
Quality football player.
Basically this guy can guy can turn to be our busquets and then some if you count the physicality
Well now we have him so i can't wait 🎉
Yeah, I want it. Lets get Mason Mount!
Ladies and gentlemen we got him🤝🏾😌
The main problem is definitely the communication in defense. We see attackers helping in defense all the time to talk of midfielders. When defense is poor, even mount will struggle. The defenders individually are good but when they team up in a match, they are extremely terrible.
Explains why every single manager wants to adopt him, if can't get him as son in law. And why fans, including me, should let ETH decide who he needs.
Wondered where Adam went when leaving WC.
👋 right here buddy
I’m so excited at Arsenal we took the really best player at Chelsea!
There will be no team in PL that buys any other player better than Havertz in this window!
Thankyou Arsenal for taking deadwood
Couple of years ago you gunners were mocking haverts as an overrated player now you’re really excited wow😢
As always…an absolutely wonderful thread. 😉
