Can see him having a more limited role this season.

I can see us not signing a CM and him playing deeper when we need cover.

That was said when RLC returned from injury, when we signed Havertz and when we appointed Tuchel.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Havertz against Spurs the other day, I thought he was more or less doing Mount's job in dropping deep and pressing. Add Lukaku and Havertz' end product, there's only one slot available and it's going to be interesting to see if Pulisic and Ziyech regain the end product they once showed. An area that Mount severely lacks unless he steps up this season.

I like how there's assumption almost every summer that the team's XI will be this and that, only for things to turn out differently.

I bet you do Mr. Devils advocate. I really do.

Well, I was right regarding the recent Haaland interest, when almost everyone was assuming the move will happen. 🤪

Mount will find a way to stay as a regular, he is like a managers pet. Given his all round ability and work rate, he will stay as a favorite of most managers.

I hope he improves where he doesn’t become the new Willian. Which is decent but you feel like someone else can do better and a improved player is needed.

Drama, wild inconsistency, lazy defence and sulking

Pogba: 

Mount:  null

I will say this again, Pogba is playing this way due to his contract situation. Once that is resolved, whether its staying at United or going to PSG, then he will revert back to type. His ability was never in question, his attitude has always been the issue.

Fucking hell here we go again with the stupid comparisons, someone who doesn’t even play the same position or hasn’t done majority of his career (like Grealish again) but ok I will play.

Firstly Pogba isn’t a number 10/attacking midfielder. Hes an 8 or has played off the lefthand side in big games because he cannot be trusted in the middle of the pitch.

Secondly Pogba has scored 28 goals and made 33 assists in 5 full PL seasons and the game v Leeds this weekend past, playing virtually every week most seasons and one game this season….. averaging 4.6 goals and 5.5 assists per season over his time in England.

Hardly that impressive for a near £100m player who was/still is hailed as world class/a top top player (which lets be honest can be as good as you want once every while but being world class means you do it every week)…. even worse bar one season - 2018/19 - where he scored 13 PL goals 9 assists he has never scored more than 6 in a season in the PL for United bar that year.

He got 3 goals 3 assists last season, 1 goal 3 assists the season before, 6 goals 10 assists in 2017/18 and then 5 goals 4 assists in 2016/17…. Mount has got 13 goals and 10 assists in 2 full seasons of PL football basically having never played bar at Derby and Vitesse. Also Mount 21 big chances created in 2 seasons more or less, Pogba 26 in 5 seasons more or less. So its a bit of a idiotic comparison to make, even more so on one game where he’s got 4 assists.

I mean when United play next week and he gets 0 assists and lets say Mount gets a few will you be posting in here? I don’t think so because you seem to be very selective in when to post stupid shit re Mount in here 😂

Also more importantly how many CL final goals has Pogba ever assisted? Or how many big games at club level has he actually done anything in? 

[Simon1991 233]

For god's sake @NikkiCFC, will you stop? I thought you had finally come to peace with Mount's input. 

Willian recorded 3 assists last year against Fulham, so, he's better too?

Add to that Pogba is on his physical and career peak. He is older than Lukaku ffs while Mount is early 20ies still kinda early in his pro career. 
ppl tend to think Pogba is still young cos he still plays like a promising youngster when the best part of his career is probably behind him and grandpa league titles are all he has to show for on club level

I didn't say a word about Mount. I just shared stats. 

Am I shitting on Christensen if I say Chalobah scored already for Chelsea in 2nd game or Tomori last season also early but he still didn't? No this is just interesting observation. 

Btw I don't rate Pogba at all. Wouldn't take him for free.
