Love Mount alone! Manchester United can successfully sign Mbemo before training, but Amorin still insists on staying Mount

According to "TEAMtalk", although Manchester United is confident that they can sign Brian Mbemo before the preseason starts, head coach Ruben Amorin still wants to keep Mason Mount, who appreciates the England midfielder more than his predecessor Tenhager.

Stander's life at Manchester United has been difficult since transferring from Chelsea for £60 million in the summer of 2023. The 26-year-old former England international won the Champions League in 2021 and was elected as the MVP in the finals, but he was seriously affected by injury problems and instability in form. He only made 46 appearances for the Red Devils in two seasons, scored 4 goals and had 1 assist.

Mount's future at Manchester United has been full of doubts, but sources stressed that Amorin insists on keeping the player and hopes he can play in the 2025/26 season.

Amorin was revealed to be a "loyal fan" of Mount and believed that the latter could bring a unique influence to his team. Despite recent rumors that Mount may leave, sources said Mount himself is eager to continue working under Amorin because he has a good relationship with Amorin.

Although Manchester United's board of directors wants to sell many players as a step in team reconstruction, Mount's desire to stay in the team is consistent with Amorin's position, and the Red Devils 7 showed great enthusiasm for the coach's tactics.

It is reported that Amorin believes that Mount's work efficiency, technical ability and versatility are very suitable for his 343 playing style.

Even if Manchester United officially announced that Cunia joined and planned to continue to introduce Mbemo, Amorin still believes that Mount still has a position, and he may serve in the No. 10 position, or withdraw and play in the No. 8 position. At the end of the season, Mount had already begun to be reused by Amorin. He scored one goal and had two assists in the last five games. After witnessing the love player's wonderful lob shot at Athletic Bilbao, Amorin's smile was particularly bright.

However, Mount got a starting chance in the Europa League final, which aroused Garnacho's dissatisfaction. "Grab my No. 7 and take me to start!" During the summer window, Amorin chose to continue to support Mount and did not hesitate to sell Garnacho. However, he needed this love player to perform better, proving the rationality of his £60 million transfer fee and £250,000 weekly salary.

In the new season, Mount must at least avoid any longer long-term injuries. Otherwise, while the relationship between Mount and Amorin is strong, it may not be enough to stop the Manchester United board from cleaning him out.

Like Amorin, some Manchester United fans believe that Mount can play back at Chelsea, but some people think that he should transfer to mid- and lower-level teams or even promoted teams.

Former Manchester United right-back Paul Parker said: "I said it before, but I just can't imagine he'll play a key role in Manchester United. He doesn't have any outstanding qualities, and now we really understand why Chelsea is willing to let him go. Because other Manchester United players are not good, he has the chance to play. Yes, he scored a goal, but I didn't see him perform more. Obviously, changing a team will be good for him."

Parker added: "I think he needs to figure out his characteristics as a player. What are his advantages? He has no characteristics and no one knows what he is good at. , I don't even think he knows it himself. He looks like a lost boy, so he needs to find his identity first. Otherwise, he will have a hard time succeeding in a new club."

Sunderland former player Marco Gabiadini suggested that Mount join the newly promoted Sunderland: "If we want to spend money, then we need to bring in players like Mount... He is not good at Manchester United, but I think he is a player with great potential. Maybe he hasn't fully played out yet. Such a player will be great for us and he can bring Premier League experience."
