I believe that a player should be given a comfortable role in order to perform to the expectations. Mount has played in attacking midfield most often for Chelsea and at United he is given rather a defensive midfield role so if someone is expecting a very good performance then they have to wait. I think he will adjust to attacking midfield at United very quickly but that position is occupied by Fernandes right now because he is much better option when it comes to creating chances and finding spaces.
We were linked with Mount for a long time, I’m so glad he didn’t come to Liverpool though. I don’t think he’s particularly elite at anything. He’s a good but not great player. For the wages he’s reportedly on at United he needs to do a lot more.
He’s now out injured for up to 6 weeks too so it gets worse. Give me Mac Allister and Szoboszlai instead of him every day of the week. Mount is another overrated, overpriced English player.
