Manchester United hero Louis Saha has aimed his ire in an unusual direction this week.

The former France and United forward has hit out at Mason Mount after his summer move from Chelsea.

The midfielder, who came on during United's 1-0 win over Luton Town, has yet to score this season.

He told Betfred: "I get asked a lot to comment on players, especially the likes of Rashford and Antony, but is there some sort of protection over Mount?

"Mount should have an important role in this team, but nobody can understand his impact.

"In his first six months at Man Utd, Antony was already under fire, so can somebody tell me why the press are okay with Mount not playing well?

"It seems fine that he's not playing well, why is there not the same level of criticism for Mount than there is for Antony? I just don't understand it.

"Mount should be a big player for Manchester United like Rashford or Antony, so I don't understand why those two get the intense criticism but Mount doesn't when he's not performing at all.

"He's not scoring goals, he's not assisting and nobody's speaking about it."
