Former Chelsea prince lost at Manchester United; some question the £55 million!

One of the former Chelsea twin stars, Mount, adored by Chelsea fans and considered the prodigy of their youth academy, faced a barrage of criticism from Chelsea fans after his move to Manchester United, with many accusing him of leaving Chelsea for money. So, how has Mount fared since leaving Chelsea for Manchester United?

Unfortunately, Mount arrived at Manchester United with high expectations, but since then, he hasn't shown convincing performances. While Mount is technically versatile, capable of playing as an attacking midfielder, winger, shadow striker, or even as a holding midfielder, his versatility paradoxically made him one of the most featureless players.

In the coach Ten Hag's original vision, Mount's versatility was supposed to enrich his tactical approach. However, despite Manchester United spending £55 million on him, Ten Hag has yet to find a suitable role for Mount. With 11 Premier League rounds played, Mount has only appeared in 7 matches, starting a questioned and minimal 4 times, delivering subpar performances on the field.

His appearances have been a disaster; in 11 outings across competitions for Manchester United, he's contributed only one assist. While goals and assists may not be the primary duty for a midfielder like Mount, his performance in the midfield lacks presence. His passing game, even as a midfielder, is minimal. Consequently, Mount faces criticism from Manchester United fans, while Chelsea fans are relieved to have rid themselves of an underperforming player.

Of course, at 24 years old, Mount has ample time to improve, and the current environment at Manchester United isn't favorable, so his poor performance can't solely be attributed to him.

I've said it before, he couldn't make it at Chelsea, and it's not guaranteed he will at Manchester United either. He should consider moving to a mid-table team and secure a regular spot. If he continues like this, it won't be long before he's playing in the English Championship.

Mount has now become like a low-quality universal charger - usable anywhere, but not very effective.

"It's really unfortunate for Mount. He was once groomed as the core of the team. Sadly, he lost his place last season, and the arrival of the world champion Haaland left him with no future prospects. What's even more unfortunate is that Mount chose to join Manchester United.

You see, Manchester United has been in turmoil for a decade now, and it's no different from a car without a driver after changing owners. It's like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. While Mount came to Manchester United under Ten Hag's management, he's not truly Ten Hag's player. Besides, Manchester United's midfield is quite crowded, and Mount's skills might not guarantee him a regular spot.

Moreover, his recent performances have been rather lackluster, without many bright spots. I suspect that this season in the league, Mount will likely have a role as a rotation player. Fortunately, the season is long, and Manchester United needs players to enhance their tactical setups. Mount will have opportunities but needs to perform well when given the chance to make a difference for the team. Only then can he establish himself in the chaotic Manchester United and help the team overcome its difficulties. Let's hope Mount can deliver a good performance and assist Manchester United in getting back on track."

Everyone wants to help him, but it's like teaching a stubborn child... Mount might be better off considering a career change.
