Love Licha meeting Mount and his family. Real captain vibes. Guy is an animal.
Likewise, like the idea of the London and South East lads going to Manchester, like BeckhamI'm so superficial, when he was a Chelsea player I thought he was an average passion merchant but I'm sold on him now
On a bias note, as a southerner I like seeing southerners sign for the team.
That is the best thing about success.. kids grow up in awe of the club..
There is a whole generation (or two) that will grow up wanting to play for City.. which is disgusting..
We need to get back on top again.. now.. We owe it to the kids of the future
I do think so. As you say, not that it matters, but I will reach out to you once Mount overtakes him
I guess it doesn't hurt to have someone who seems to be a decent character after some of the recent events involving United and ex-United players!Confusing me. What’s his big appeal?
He doesn’t have that many followers on Instagram (6 million) compared to other footballers. Garnacho has more followers than him, for example, and has more of a wow factor.
Not that it matters, but I don’t think so.
Garnacho is 5 years younger and has already got more followers after limited exposure. Plus Garnachos posts all regularly get 1.5 - 2 million likes. MM posts mostly gets 300 - 700k. Just shows the appeal. Again, doesn’t matter, as they are both United players now, I just don’t see MM as a poster boy.

I wasn't the one who said anything about Garnacho? I was explaining why Mount might have appeal as a marketable player to somebody who asked the question.Unlike Garnacho?
Mount is British and has a more boring haircut, that’s the only real difference.
I’m not criticising him btw, at all, but we’ve seen this so many times with especially white British players being type cast as the ’decent’ guys.

United put a video of him out earlier and he seemed like an affable guy. I don't like the assumption that there was a xenophobic undertone to what I've said.
Rashford is already hugely marketable and the club have tapped into that with the most recent kit launch. It tends to be younger attacking players who are at the forefront when it comes to marketing, I'm sure Garnacho will get his time in the sun too if he continues on his current trajectory.The conversation (and the post you replied to) was about Mount’s marketability vs Garnacho.
And Utd is full of ‘decent’ characters as far as we know, Rashford, Bruno, Varane, Casemiro, Martinez, Eriksen, Fred, Shaw.
It just seems odd to highlight this facet of Mount, given the above, in a conversation on his marketability vs Nacho’s.
It’s something that happens a lot, almost ubiquitously tbh - I didn’t mean it to seem like an attack on you.
United social media team are really trying their best, by pushing his face towards their 62 million followers. Posting Mount content 5 times every day and so many stories. I even know what his favourite food is. Despite all the efforts, he’s stuck on 6.2 million
Anyway, Garnacho will grow naturally to 10m at the end of the season, even while not being posted 5 times per day.
I hate these too..Don’t want to sound like a grouch but this kind of video makes me cringe so hard. The Spider-Man graphics and stuff are just….ugh.
Sorry in advance if you like this, people have different tastes and I’m sure you’d find my interests boring/cringey/lame, but those videos just give me psychic damage.
You will be shocked when you realised that he's not that creative. He's Jack of all trade, master of none. Except pressing and good engine, he's average at everything else.I’m very excited for the new-look midfield. I think he’s going to provide creativity (sees himself as a #8) as well as defensive stability. He’s good on the ball and loves getting about the pitch. Can’t wait!
I think you’re wrong, mate. He is very much a midfielder on the front foot looking to create or score. He’s a massive upgrade on McFred, he’s got stamina and legs that have deserted Eriksen, he’s two-footed, takes the ball on the half turn, and he can place a free kick!! Be happy!You will be shocked when you realised that he's not that creative. He's Jack of all trade, master of none. Except pressing and good engine, he's average at everything else.
Not sure if this vid has been posted. I’ve seen a few, but not this one which has his every Chelsea goal. This lad really can finish. Pretty excited by this signing. He’s a gem.
Same here. Goal no 22 sublime and such a technical finish and he looks really quick too. On a side note, don’t the empty stadiums give you the sickest feeling!Thanks for this. He has kind of gone under the radar for me whilst at Chelsea but this looks very good. Confident in both feet, takes freekicks and penalties and scores in some big games including Real Madrid and us :-(

I dont like Bruno playing deeper, I assume it will be Mount and, potentially, Hannibal at some pointWill be interesting to see how to play him with Bruno. Will they switch positions and play with flexibility or will Bruno play deeper?
Ten Hag seems to love having players that can play multiple positions.

He will be kidding our badge before we know it.
Yes of course he is. I guess he is a United fan after all.he’s already started patting it…

Yeah they all have it until they don't. I think Mason will do fine here.I actually do think he has a soft spot for the club, by the sounds of it mainly ex players. Ronaldo and beckham being the main two. I reckon he’s going to love it here. You just get that vibe with him.
Exactly my point. He's a good player, dont get me wrong, but the only area of the game he's elite is pressing, and good stamina. Every other thing, he's average at best. I guess only time will tell. I hope he proves me wrong.Saying he's average at everything else is harsh. He's good at everything else, but perhaps doesn't stand out at one thing in particular. That's not a bad thing at all though, every team needs at least a couple of players like that.
If you have a player where it's hard to pinpoint a glaring weakness, then what you have is a very good footballer.
