Ten Hag pleased with Mount debut in Man Utd preseason win

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was pleased with Mason Mount's performance for their preseason friendly win against Leeds.

Mount played the first 45 minutes as United won 2-0 in Oslo. Noam Emeran and Joe Hugill struck for United after halftime.

"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."
