Managers do seem to really like him and what he offers.
Good news about him being back soon. If we can get through the Sociedad game then hopefully he can play a big part in the rest of the season.

Probably because they know he's quite effective when fit. His ability is not in question.
And 3. No one is going to buy him, regardless.
And 4. That hip hip nini nini ron.

He's basically worthless as things stand from a selling point of view. The best case scenario is he gets fit and can play for us again and helps us win the EL. He's on CL/top 4 wages along with the rest of the spine of the squad. It's about time a few of them stepped up together. We should be going far in this competition. A few years ago we would have been talking about this as a chance for our fringe players to get fitness, especially in the earlier stages.
That's my hope. If you play Mount in the 10 role along with Garnacho we suddenly have a bit more pace in the team and it looks more balanced to me, though Bruno is obviously our best player in that role, he's doing a job in the midfield. Again, it's just a case of having more options for what is a seriously underperforming attack. Him and Mainoo coming back gives us options.
Mount is our second most creative central player (or most creative wide player) by a distance on his old form. That is so long ago now though so who knows what kind of player he'll come back as or if he can get and stay fit anymore. He really owes the club something back at this point but I wouldn't even put someone else's money on him staying fit until the end of the season. He's a lost cause by the looks of things. It's a Hail Mary more than anything based in logic now
What old form? The Chelsea form from 5 years ago? Mainoo, Garnacho, Diallo have all shown much more for United in the past year and a half, Mount has shown very little even if you give him the benefit of the doubt.
Ya on his Chelsea form pre injury he was far more productive than any of the above at his best.
That's long gone and not coming back.
hate to say it but ive given up on him completely. I cant think of any player with who had this level of regular injuries (rather than just one bad one) and overcame it to become a reliable player.
Well it can't if he can't ever stay fit. If he can get fit (the biggest if!) he can still be a creative player in a time we are badly lacking. We haven't rushed him back at all this time, the rest is up to him now.
I’ve written him off to the point that if he does do anything of note, it’s simply regarded as a bonus.
He’s physically broken and I’m certain he gets injured again before the season ends.

Got absolutely no confidence at all that he'll be fit for very long but the hope is there. We're really lacking in those 10 positions and could do with him for the rest of the season.
The ironic thing is that having a player like Mount makes a lot more sense now than it actually did when we bought him. In a system with two 10s him and Bruno could actually be pretty effective.
Of course, none of this really matters because he'll never be fit for more than 10 matches per season moving forward, so it's kind of a moot point.
Seeing as no club in their right mind would buy him, it makes sense to have him for as long as we continue to toy around with the 3-4-3. Hopefully we'll be able to move him along whenever Amorim is binned and we abandon his system.

I get what you mean but two of those are injured at the moment. As others have said we don't know what Mount will play like when he comes back but if he's half decent then I would prefer a front line up like this:
Mount Garnacho
Zirkzee
Or
Mount Bruno
Hojlund
to what we have now which is essentially Zirkzee, Hojlund and Garnacho/Eriksen and then shifting Bruno all over the place because he's better than everyone else.
Can't wait to see his quick half turns in midfield, relentless pressing and then subsequent sub off at 65 mins to be out again for a few weeks

In typical CAF fashion Mount's talent is getting whitewashed as he nears a return to fitness. Suddenly he's the perfect No. 10 in Amorim's system and is a better fit for the role than the players currently playing it. Everything that was said about Donny VdB whenever he was on his way back from injuries.
Besides that he's not shown that form here, he's also been broken for the last few years, and most importantly, he wasn't pulling up trees in a similar system under Southgate as well.
If anything I think his use of the media to propagate the idea that he's well regarded by his managers is absolutely brilliant, because how else would James Ducker know Amorim's thoughts about Mount. I remember how he was an ideal fit for ETH's system from hell as well, yet we knew how he fared when he played in it.

Everyone knows the Saiyan golden rule that a player gets better the longer they are injured.
Tbf Amorim himself has been very complementary of him, from the 1st Training session he held.
Just keep him as a 30 mins sub for the season and however long he stays fit.
By personal bet is he breaks down again in training before getting first team minutes.

He should prepare to have his heart broken.
My heart is already stone as it relates to Mount
What do you mean?! The guy has a grand total of one goal and one assist in the league in two seasons. How is he going to play himself into form when he's been invisible the entire time either on the pitch or injured?
Mount is shite, look at his record for us. Look at his performances, a total nothing player. Worse than even DVB if you factor the cost of his fee and wages. I don't know how you justify keeping such a player.
I'm so sorry that I watch almost every match and can see despite the training (which btw, he's done barely any of cos he's injured) that he does NOTHING every match. This appeal to authority means nothing.
Which is why you are not the manager, they have training to make calls on players. I'm sorry but I will believe someone who watches him train over someone with an agenda.
The one thing we can all agree on is that within 20 minutes of him being back on a pitch, we'll have enough evidence to know if he's good enough.
RvP?
Ignore your lying eyes then.
It sounds harsh but I've got absolutely no desire to see him play for us again. Even before his injuries he was a fairly limited player.
If he can stay fit over the Summer, then we should look at loaning him out. We can't go into another season relying on him as a member of the squad.

For two seasons.
His ability is absolutely in question. This is a guy who Southgate consistently played for England despite him rarely performing and there being far better options. His performances for us, when fit, have simply mirrored those matches, with him struggling to do anything productive on the ball.
He's obviously not a bad player, and he’s fine as a squad player (Lingard/Sancho type level), but we are paying him far too much for that role. He’s quite some way off the standard we should expect of a starting number 10 at United.
We are stuck with him though, as there’s no way any other club will take him off our hands given his injury record/ability level. Just have to hope that he can do something in the next 3 years to justify the £100m+ invested in him.
Lingard at least could chip in with the odd goal and assist, Mount does nothing. If he's not a bad player then what does he do that's actually good?
Never happens and never will happen
Dunno about that (all comps):
10/11 at Arsenal - 33 appearances / 22 goals
11/12 at Arsenal - 48 appearances / 37 goals
12/13 at United - 48 appearances / 30 goals
13/14 at United - 28 appearances / 18 goals
14/15 at United - 29 appearances / 10 goals
Two standout seasons sure but was very consistent after injury problems for him 2 seasons out of 3 between 07-10. Even appeared 48 and 35 times for Fenerbache after us for a couple of seasons too.
Apologies, my favouritism for RvP may be derailing the thread.
Pretty sure after the title winning season he was injured in a lot in those next two, that's why his appearances drop by nearly half. So my point still stands.
He can pop up with the odd goal/assist (I agree we haven’t even seen that yet) and do some pressing as a sub. He’s never going to dominate a match though.
May as well wait until after the international break at this stage . Although he might make the bench Sunday .
I presume Shaw will be back after international break also for a game or 2.
If we get over Sociedad we may get a few players back for April and the next round

Most footballers offer pressing, and as you said, since we haven't seen him do his job creating and scoring goals, then what's the point in him?
I think you are confusing me with someone who wants Mount to stay. The main point is that we have no way to get rid of him, so we have to hope that he can at least contribute something.
It was a mostly rhetorical question. He needs to go, but United fans on here appear to be in the four stages of grief with him like DVB.
