I think Ten Hag knows better what the team needs, Masom Mount is a very good player, it's just that last season the performance of the Chelsea team was bad so many people were disappointed with masom mount, but I think it's not masom mount's fault because of the performance of a team depends on all the players in the squad not just a few players.
And regarding Chelsea who set a very high price, I think it's also very reasonable because Masom Mount is a young player and has good quality so it's possible for this player to develop and be in top performance for a long time.
That's it. The fans are too easy to judge which player that is worthy to be bought or not while it's all still remain gambling. Even though if MU will able to buy caicedo and there's no guarantee if his performance will better compared if mount gonna be united's new player. He has been winning many trophies with chelsea on his age right now. Chelsea is seeing him as a potential one. that's why such price is worthy enough for him.
MU fans were only able blaming ETH's decision. I heard that if MU's bid for mount still remain active till the end of season even though chelsea has been rejecting it again.
It shows how ten hag wants mount come to the club. I see that if ETH sees something that didn't owned by another player on mount.
Honestly I really wish Arsenal will turn their focus to Mason mount, he is a very fine player, good pace, good with the ball and off the ball, he would form a good partnership with Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice and Kai Harvertz next season if Arsenal manage to complete these deals. I am sure Manchester United will be getting a good trade if they can complete a deal this summer but if not they will be missing out on a player with good potentials.
