A luxery player that United didn't need. How the club couldn't see this when the fan base could just boggles my mind

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Not even the worst signing this summer by the look of Amrabat.
We had player like Fred who wouldn't complain about chasing, and actually had great performance chasing like that. If Mount is not even happy with such role, then he's entirely pointless because while he's tidy, he's a complement type of players. Nowhere influential enough. Which means he deserves nothing despite other players blowing hot and cold.
So it took you only few weeks to realise it.
What a signing
Yeah that really showed today when we swapped them around. Oh wait.
I do like Mount but what a bizarre signing. Arguably our best player and captain who plays every game is in his best position. That money should have been spent on Kim when it looked like the deal could have been done
We did not. We swapped McTominay for Amrabat and moved Mount up as a 10.
Seems like a nice enough guy and he tries hard. But he's absolutely anonymous almost every time he plays. He reminds me of Schneiderlin in that they both have this amazing skill of almost vanishing on a football pitch, to the point you forget they are even playing. This one's on Ten Hag, absolutely dreadful signing.
£60m for a player who had 1 year left on his contract, when we already had Bruno, Eriksen, Fred, Van De Beek (who's appalling to be to fair), in his position was and is an absolutely ridiculous transfer. Horrific decision making once again.
He’s our VDB replacement
Playing a different role every time he plays can’t be easy. Doing it against the treble winners is an unenviable task.
Chin up Mount! maybe stay off socials for a few weeks too!

I think he is a very good player and useful, and I also think he should play instead of Bruno right now, but we needed another type of midfielder over him. Either way, it's not working with both Mount and Bruno together.
Over priced and sub standard. ETH should take the blame. Mount was always crap at Chelsea
We put a shit player in midfield to accommodate Mount who probably didnt even hit double figures for touches in that half.
Couldn't get in the Chelsea team yet considered good enough for us
Did anyone see him today? Nah, it must be a ghost.
Look at the circumstances and the eventual transfer of Mount and it’s all you need to know about this club and it’s manager. None of those involved in this transfer should work for Manchester United, horrendous and pathetic.
He's a good player who we signed without a clear plan and who plays in the same position as our captain, and who was available on a free next summer. Great planning guys.
Another Theo Wallcot
Completely invisible. As usual.
Spent half our budget on a player we didn't need resulting in us relying on free transfers and loans for positions we did need, and he's already out of the team.
Joke of a club.
Joke of a club.
He’s a good player, technically excellent, but his best football has never been in CM.
So what do we do buy him to play at #8 realise he can’t do this that well and bench him. I’m sorry but Ten Hag has been woeful with transfers apart from Martinez!
Does he have the same agent as ETH and Antony?
Honestly, no one rated him, except super loyal Chelsea fans but they even started to turn after the last 18 months of bland, boring, vacant performances.
Yet, ETH was desperate for him. The guy cannot appraise players and it shows with his signings. Combined with the club unable to appraise players as well, this is a disaster class in recruitment.

Shined for Vitesse when he was a kid.
I mean Klopp and Arteta both wanted to sign him as well so it isn’t just Ten Hag who rates him.
The problem is that he can't even seem to tell the difference between a good and a bad player that he coaches. He made us sign Antony. How can you trust his judgement of ANY player that's already at the club?
I am very sure they have different role that fit his ability. They don't sign him so they would have to teach him a new role he had never played before. They both were always gonna sign a no 6/no8 type midfielder along a more advanced midfielder. Whereas we needed to wait until deadline ad panic loan Amrabat in. If we wanted Amrabat that badly, we could have gotten him as early in the window as possible considering he's relatively cheap.
Even his staunchest defender, Zaafi, is finding it difficult to defend Mount.
What you just said is what I have been saying since day dot; of which you criticised me heavily for.
We overpaid for a signing that adds very little, (if anything), to our starting XI.

Someone on reddit was calling him a generational talent a year ago talk about a word losing all meaning

Apparently we are 0-5 down in his combined 5+ hours on the field in the PL this season.
Chins up lads, we got one over on our rivals managers who are rumored to really rate him. That's the most important thing. Who gives a feck where he fits in the team.
It’s not about whether he’s popular or not or if the manager rates him, but how he fits into, and crucially, improves our team.
He’s clearly a quality player, but with the players we already had it’s not clear if he fits and whether he can actually improve this team.
Given our glaringly obvious squad deficiencies it seems an odd signing, especially as our main target.
I sincerely hope he wasn’t signed to simply stop him going to a rival. Would be very short sighted.
Did they?
I wouldn't trust him to find his own naval at this point.
The crazy thing among all this melodramatic mount drama is that I actually think he can suit us. Hes a technical player, press resistant and makes good decisions on the ball consistently enough. That's more than I can say from literally any of our attackers.
But he isn't helped by 1) injury, 2) the team not being settled anywhere else and 3) a weird subsection of posters wanting him to fail.

Yes.Did they?
Was so fecking obvious that it was a terrible decision to prioritize him the instant we got linked. But apparently football genius Ten Hag thought he was the missing piece.
