According to Erik ten Hag, Mason Mount has the potential to bring “dynamism” to Manchester United’s midfield. After his impressive 45-minute cameo against Leeds in a pre-season friendly, Ten Hag revealed that Mount was specifically targeted to add more energy to the team from the middle of the pitch.
Ten Hag emphasized that Mount’s vision is to contribute offensively but also be versatile and complete in his role. In the midfield position, it is important to not only attack but also defend, and Ten Hag believes that Mount can help make the midfield department more dynamic at Manchester United.
He told MUTV: “He will bring dynamism to our game and that was one of our conclusions last season.
“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.”
