I do want a ball playing CM but have to admit, I do like players who are so physically superior they sometimes look like they're playing in the age group above.
I think he'd be a good signing. Just balance it out with other more technical players.

His highlight reel only contains of slide tackles. That to me indicates he's not good enough.
Genuinely a shocking pundit
Go to Specsavers if thats all you saw
Interesting article here for those that aren't familiar with his game. It's written by a non-native English speaking writer so it can seem a bit google translatey at times but the analysis is very good.

Could have done with someone with his energy and drive last night.
100 percent. Seems to be exactly what we are missing
Who would you drop from midfield for him if we do get him , my pick would be Fernandes despite Mount's not so great start though not many would agree with that .
I can not hide the fact anymore that regardless of Bruno’s creative output from his spamming he is a gigantic hindrance when it comes to controlling and dominating a midfield. I’m all for him getting dropped or just moving out the way. I.e. CAM or RW. He cannot play 8 in the Prem.
He would add a lot of dynamism to the poor summer. I had this a 5/10 window before a whistle was blown and I think the manager is going to have to undo, this new system and revert to a double pivot midfield. In such circumstances (though I don't like Bruno wide) it's permissable to have Onana / Casemiro as the double with Case stepping forward in possession, Mount as the 10 and Bruno out wide on the right.
I know the manager has mentioned transition but you need clinical players to capitalize which United don't have so I think being a team that ushers control of possession is more beneficial in the long run.

Would have been a better signing than Mount
I don't think a decision has to be made. Just see who is playing best out of the options.
The same Fernandes who created excellent chances vs Spurs?
No white text?
Look I won't pretend or even argue that I am not biased against Fernandes , I find him terribly overrated and Any Club with him as the main player would always fall short of being a Top team capable of challenging for biggest trophies
If I can make a parallel for his time here it would be De Gea's at his peak what they bring in terms of certain areas is great but simply not worth it in grand scheme of things .

I had seen enough of Fernandes to make conclusion rightly or wrongly that we would always have limit to the potential of the team that would be short of truly top team and won't be competing for biggest prizes with him as major player . But others for the time being get benefit of doubt .
Yeah that should also work .
I personally would like Fernandes to be replaced. I would have taken Maddison as his replacement. No way in hell would I take Mason fecking Mount
Not the answer. A midfield with Casemiro and Onana is worse than McFred in terms of balance.
Hasn’t had a touch of the ball in the opening 30 minutes against Villa.
Watch us now bid £40m

He's made 5 passes in 32 minutes (3 successful)
Douglas Luiz has been really good, as usual.

He's completely anonymous today.
Head is in Manchester.
Is he even better than McTominay?
Bloody hell he’s completely anonymous in this half. Not sure I want another player who hides.
Is he the guy that did something very stupid in a big game last season and got sent off?
I would say, no, he is not.
Hammered by Villa.
We need a passer if we wanted physicality we could just keep mctom you know.
Tbf he just made an excellent pass to Maupay there.
The contrast in posts within the same day on this thread is classic Caf. 
He was just what we were missing this morning and now he’s fecking shit.

No, that was Casemiro.
If he’s the answer what’s the question? Game is passing him by, so he’d not exactly solve anything for United.
Can't help feeling, this lad would get absolutely slaughtered on here after a few games.
when doesn’t a player who signs for United get slaughtered after a few games?
Didn't catch the full game but he was running like a headless chicken in the last 20-30 minutes.
He was running ? That's good enough for me.
Mount? He was getting slaughtered before he even kicked a ball for us
