‘He will be the key to victory’ – Erik ten Hag believes Mason Mount can bring special element to Manchester United

Mason Mount has the capacity to infuse “dynamism” into Manchester United’s midfield, according to Erik ten Hag. Ten Hag explained that Mount was expressly chosen to give the club extra energy from the centre of the pitch after his outstanding 45-minute cameo against Leeds in a preseason friendly.

 

Ten Hag underlined that Mount’s goal is to play a full role and contribute offensively while also being adaptable and complete. Ten Hag thinks that Mount can contribute to making the midfield department at Manchester United more dynamic. In the midfield position, it’s necessary to not just attack but also defend.

 

“His vision is to play the offensive. But also he wants to be multi-functional, he wants to be complete.

“When you’re playing in midfield, you have to attack, but you also have to defend. We need to be more dynamic in the midfield department.

“I’m sure he will contribute to the success of United because he is a quality player.”
