Erik ten Hag now has a number of choices in midfield and on offense thanks to the Red Devils’ most recent acquisition, but where is he most dangerous?
Erik ten Hag finally has Mason Mount, five years after first catching his eye. When Mount was only 18 years old and playing for Ajax against Vitesse back in the 2017–18 season, the Dutchman fell in love with the English midfielder and sought to sign him there and then.
In an effort to capitalise on a stellar debut campaign at Old Trafford, he has now brought him to Manchester United as the club’s first signing of the summer. The Red Devils and Chelsea have reached an agreement on a transaction that could be worth up to £60 million.
Numerous coaches have fallen head over heels in love with Mount because of his enthusiasm and grasp of the game. Despite a challenging previous season with a dysfunctional Chelsea club that saw him leave the team due to a breakdown in contract negotiations, he is still a top-tier player.
Even if there are questions regarding the transfer fee, Ten Hag is certain that Mount can help United advance. He will also make the team younger, more vibrant, and more diverse. GOAL examines how Ten Hag can make the most of his newest acquisition.
