Mason Mount | Match Discussion Thread 2024/25

I think by this point you can clearly see why Chelsea were willing to sell. There is more going on with him than meets the eye.

Also, he's just not good enough.

Chelsea did not want to sell him he wanted a better contract than they were offering.

They’d just signed Sterling on 375k a week and Mount was apparently being offered 150k a week. He felt he was worth more than that especially as he was an established first team player that came through the academy.

With only 1 year left Chelsea were basically forced to sell.

He was an odd signing for Utd he was the Eriksen replacement but was a totally different player. He’s another Van De Beek and we will end up taking a big hit on him financially in a few years.

Very hard to see him coming good and sorting these injuries out after this long.

It's the same difference.

Chelsea didn't feel they wanted to pay him enough to stay. That's very telling.

Think part of his sale was also driven by their need to balance the books as they massively over spent in the first summer.

Chelsea probably got a much better deal than they probably expected.

I think they just wanted rid of a player that never really reached his potential.

They played their cards perfectly, acting as if he's in there future plans. The reality is we were reeled in and took to the cleaners. There is probably about two people in the whole world that think Mount is a UTD player.

I dunno about not reaching his potential he was excellent in the season they won the CL. That season was probably the high point of his career and I doubt he gets back to that level.

Managers seem to like him a very flexible player but injuries are a massive problem currently. Missed so much of the last 2.5 seasons.

He’s in the squad list on the United website so he’s definitely a United player. And that can be accessed by millions!
 
Mount is a mystery, even now it’s hard to say if he’s any good because he hardly plays.

Every manager he has seems to like him just needs to stay fit and show us what he can do.
 
I think he’ll really benefit from the Amorim system. He never really fitted into an ETH system plus obviously his injuries didn’t help, however this could definitely be a new start for him.

Before he arrived here I was never fully convinced of him but there is no denying there is a player in there.
 
Still see him as a squad player than a starter when he’s fit.
 
I still see him as a bad buy very injury prone, happy to be proven wrong but he looks like another Phil Jones so far keeping the treatment room on overtime.
 
Good performance that spot in the front 3 really suits him.

Unlucky not to bag a goal

Just needs to stay fit and put the injuries behind him.
 
Really good peformance for me. Seems to understand what Amorim wants, felt he knew where and when to press. Some real good moments.

I think he will be one of the starting 11 in this system if he can stay fit
