Mason Mount will bring dynamism into our game – Erik ten Hag

According to manager Erik ten Hag, Mason Mount will add “dynamism” to Manchester United’s midfield in the upcoming season.

The 24-year-old midfielder impressed in his opening 45 minutes for the club, helping them to a 2-0 win over Leeds United in Oslo in their first pre-season game.

Mount, who joined from Chelsea for £55 million, played the first half before the United manager made whole changes to his team for the second half.

“He will bring dynamism into our game and that was one of our conclusions last season,” Ten Hag told MUTV.

“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 you 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.”

Mount is expected to play a key part in Ten Hag’s plans this season with the England international expected to rotate more with Christian Eriksen.
