Mason Mount’s form is causing public opinion to find an injustice at Manchester United.
Mason Mount has made six appearances for Manchester United this summer. He was almost a choice in the starting line-up that Erik ten Hag arranged. This move of the Dutch military leader shows that he is favoring Mount.
His intentions are not receiving the sweet fruit. Mount is playing very poorly and even just became a laughing stock after an unbelievable failure against Lens. The new season is about to start but Mount’s form is making Man Utd fans feel anxious. If Mount continues to play like last time, it is an injustice to Christian Eriksen.
It is easy to see that Mount is knocking Eriksen to the bench. Including the victory over Arsenal and ignoring the 1-3 defeat against Wrexham, the confrontation with Man Utd using young players, the Red Devils played all 4 matches.

These three-quarters of the match saw Mount starting from the start and Eriksen sitting on the bench. Before Dortmund and Bibao were the only two encounters the former Tottenham Hotspur star started, but around him were substitutes including Donny van de Beek, Scott McTominay, Victor Lindelof or Harry Maguire. As for Mount, he often has the opportunity to work side by side from the beginning next to the pillars of Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Raphael Varane or Lisandro Martinez.
Before Lens, Eriksen sat outside to watch the game. Ten Hag clearly had a way of dividing the roster of starters and substitutes together, which made Eriksen resigned to becoming a second choice behind Mount.
For Eriksen, it is unfair because he played very well last season. The ability to pass the ball and regulate the play of the star born in 1992 helps Man United’s phases to become rhythmic. However, that is not enough to stop most people from dreaming about the prospect of a trio of Bruno, Casemiro and Mount next season.
Ten Hag is showing how he pleases the public by revealing his intention to place Mount as the main kicker with Bruno and Casemiro. The way he arranged his squad in the recent friendly period is the clearest example. However, Man Utd is not playing well because of the lack of a regulating passer who knows how to smooth the game like Eriksen.
Bruno can be a mutant playmaker but his play is more direct than the composure and composure Eriksen brings. Mount is full of energy, ready to join the dispute next to Casemiro, but the English star is not a smart midfielder to control the game for Man United.
As a result, Man Utd’s dream trio is out of tune, and Mount personally performs very bad things. The more disappointing Mount is, the more public opinion becomes aware of the injustice that Eriksen is suffering.
Ten Hag could consider an adjustment even if Mount is an expensive signing at Old Traffrord this summer.
