Saha: Man Utd not seeing enough from Mount

Former United striker Louis Saha has given his opinion on a summer signing at the club.

Saha, who won the Premier League with the Red Devils, has criticised Mason Mount.

The former Chelsea youth star has not made a meaningful impact at United since arriving in the summer for a mega fee, according to Saha.

Speaking to King Casino Bonus, Saha said: “Man Utd are relying on one or two players to create, and I haven't seen enough of Mason Mount yet. His creativity is nowhere to be seen! I didn't see any positive runs from him against Brentford!

“His timing is off, too, and he can't make chances by playing like this. I hope that the players find their groove, and once they do, they'll be hard to play against. They have the energy, and when players like Bruno Fernandes start making those passes, I'll be more confident in Manchester United.

“I think Mason Mount can be a lot better, but I'd say the fee was too much. I think Chelsea were playing a game with the fee, even if the market is very competitive and a lot of players have moved for similar fees. People will always have an opinion on transfer fees, and there'll be people who think even Haaland and Mbappe cost too much!

“It's just the nature of football. I'd say, based on what we've seen, Mason Mount isn't performing and I've seen Casemiro play more offensively than Mount! That's a crazy thing to say, but it's true."
