My inner Muppet is very much not excited about this one. But maybe im just missing something
Caicedo or Rice would be a much wiser replacement for Fred, given his role. If there's funds left over we could potentially get a scouted DLP to replace Eriksen, instead of Mount who isn't a DLP either.Kind of makes sense if we're offloading Fred and McTominay. He's basically an upgrade on Fred that takes over #8 spot from Eriksen.
But we still need another midfielder to cover for Casemiro. Anyway, I don't mind getting Mount. I think he will help us massively.

And Mourinho.Mata, Matic, Mount, Meh!
Tbf any United signings / managers have rarely shined over the last decade.And Mourinho.
Ex-Chelsea rarely shine at Man United. I think Ray Wilkins was the last one to go well.
Mata and Matic were actually great buys. Age caught up to them. Mismanagement by Moyes and Van Gaal in particular fekked Mata, admittedly the second of two panic buys by Moyes, by far the most insane acquisition by United.And Mourinho.

Why do you think Ten Hag and Klopp want him?Depressing, if true. So many other midfielders out there, and we are going after Mount. He is just so average. Please, Poch, do us a favor and convince him to stay.
Maybe it could work if diamond is used in the defensive phase:To play diamond, you need two of the CM to be very high energy and stamina that can run all day because they will cover lot of ground on the width due to no wingers like Seedorf and Gattutso. We are fecked if you play Eriksen in there. Mount should play in Eriksen‘s position, Bruno should play in Mount’s position. While may be Casemiro should play in Eriksen role like Gattutso. And finally May be Eriksen to play in Casemiro role like Pirlo.
And where does he even play if he wants Rice as well? RW? I'm so confused.What qualities does he bring that we're missing? He's not especially creative, press-resistant or adept at controlling the tempo. Praying this falls through. Is our new scout system not in place yet?
I don't know. Probably for the same reason Klopp wanted Brandt, and presumably Nunez. Or Ten Hag wanted Antony.Why do you think Ten Hag and Klopp want him?
Most United fans wanted to get rid of Rashford (I think about 75% of this forum).Is there any United fan who would be excited by a Mount signing?
There are no qualities at the highest level, might as well just keep Fred.
he’s not going to “tear it up” anywhereGuarantee if he went to Liverpool and teared it up and became a shrewd signing, most of the CAF would complain to high heaven that the scouts United have are shit, everyone is shit and why can't we make these type of signings.
Stop being a deluded tit. He’s leavingHe’s not even going to be a player we get
Definitely new contract - thankfully
United fans want to get rid of most United players and overrate every player from an outside club.Most United fans wanted to get rid of Rashford (I think about 75% of this forum).
It's not Man United fans in particular either, most fans are pretty much clueless about scouting players.
I'll give you Jota as an example of being an arguably mediocre player moving to a different club and exceeding all expectations.he’s not going to “tear it up” anywhere
He plays for England though so is automatically shit to 95% of this website.United fans want to get rid of most United players and overrate every player from an outside club.
Mount doesn’t play for United, and still has no fans?
Don’t call me a titStop being a deluded tit. He’s leaving
Agreed.He plays for England though so is automatically shit to 95% of this website.
Thank you for saying this. One of the top threads in this forum was “Rashford; new contract or sell?”, and most wanted to sell. I think “clueless” is even generous. Most fans are knee jerk morons who take 99% of their player opinions from highlights packages and boil down entire careers to the most recent 90 minutes.Most United fans wanted to get rid of Rashford (I think about 75% of this forum).

Can’t argue against that.He plays for England though so is automatically shit to 95% of this website.
Bookmarked.Don’t call me a tit
And I know exactly what will happen, he’ll stay and likely sign a new deal. I’d come back to you on it and you’d hide like a little bitch
1) Hasn't happened yet.Macallister a far better player - going to Liverpool.
Lavia a far better prospect - will go to Chelsea for half the fee we'll end up paying for Mount.
Mount will probably cost us as much as Macallister. And the only beneficiaries will be Chelsea.
Terrible transfer deal for us from all angles. Maguire/AWB vibes
Have you really watched him play? Have you really looked at how he can contribute to both the defensive and attacking phases of play? Depressing? Really? Come on now.Depressing, if true. So many other midfielders out there, and we are going after Mount. He is just so average. Please, Poch, do us a favor and convince him to stay.
What was the last signing which was as universally disliked?Really don't understand the negativity around this and if we sign him, hope he proves everyone wrong.
Assuming he effectively plays in Eriksen's place as these reports suggest, he would upgrade our midfield in terms of energy and pressing ability while maintaining sufficient technical ability to do a lot of the things Eriksen currently does.What qualities does he bring that we're missing? He's not especially creative, press-resistant or adept at controlling the tempo. Praying this falls through. Is our new scout system not in place yet?
none of those players are good enough to be starters for a Man Utd side that wants to challenge, Jota is a Liverpool squaddieI'll give you Jota as an example of being an arguably mediocre player moving to a different club and exceeding all expectations.
If it was Neves instead of Mount, I reckon most people would talk a lot more positively about this potential transfer.
Nothing has happened yet. Everything is obviously hypothetical.1) Hasn't happened yet.
2) Hasn't happened yet either and have yet to even see any links to it. Stop making shite up.

Genuinely don't think Mac Allister is better than Mount. They're on a similar level. Good but nothing more than that.Macallister a far better player - going to Liverpool.
Lavia a far better prospect - will go to Chelsea for half the fee we'll end up paying for Mount.
Well it rescued Young, Lingard and Sancho's United careers so no doubt it'll work for Mount as well.if Utd sign Mount I give it a season before the “should we try Mount at fullback” posts pop up
The negativity is that we're linked with a pretty average and quite boring player and other teams are linked with better ones. Why would anyone be positive about that?Bookmarked.
