Mount's best season was 2021-22, his heat map shows he played most of the time on the right side.
Maybe both Bruno and Mount will have freedom to swap positions.

Interesting. Whenever I saw clips of Mount he played on the left, but I believe you. Anyway, I don't rate Bruno on the left, much prefer him on the right, so I would still be a bit surprised if we do this. Of course they will switch from time to time. But I still think one (probably Mount) will be dropping deeper.
Yeah, Bruno is better on right side as he lacks that initial burst of speed to go past player or quick feet to switch the ball. Mount might be better on left and overall it might be better for team to have Mount on left and Bruno on right.
I disagree. The g/a stats may say so but 20/21 was by far his best season.
Really excited about this signing. Not a household name but a player who will come in and match ten Hag'a profile of player and philosophy.
we need another mid that can score goals other than bruno
Ah the season he scored 1 goal against top half opposition and stat-padded against the lowlies. Not his best, hasn't really had a standout season to be honest, but his natural position is a left sided 8. ETH just needs to help him develop his defensive game as he lapses quite often even though he works hard.
Is it a good or bad omen for this lad at United that horsechoker started this thread?
Feel like y'all are in denial mode. He'll start banging them in at OT and I suspect you'll go through grief, anger and acceptance soon enough.
The player who ticks ETH’s all 83 principles
Which part sounded like denial to you? I suspect one of us will be going through those stages - my money's on the guy who thinks he'll be 'banging them in'.
It’s always a bad omen when horsechoker starts a thread.
Then he’ll be stat padding at home.
It’s not made for us mate, it’s made for the fans around the world who want to feel in touch with United, especially kids.
I started last year's Arse thread and they nearly won the title before collapsing spectacularly. I also started the Darwin Núñez thread and the Thiago one
Shit
When’s Nunez going to get good by the way? I was informed multiple times he was going to destroy the league.I started last year's Arse thread and they nearly won the title before collapsing spectacularly. I also started the Darwin Núñez thread and the Thiago one
Shit
I missed the 1st half, how did he look? Twitter was raving about his workrate today.
Neat cameo with high energy on full display
Average, as expected.
I don’t get why people like you bother following the club.
Well there's red flag if ever I saw one.
My opinion means as much as yours, nothing.
Get a workhorse striker and that sweeper keepr, and we will be absolute joy to watch, finally pressing team off the ball, creating many chances. Would still keep Fred to get more defensive cover for Mount who's gonna feature next to Bruno and Case, it seems, and overall having enough players to understand the application of this important element of the game..
I'm not convinced by him but you can't really judge him after 45 mins in 1st preseason match and him being out injured for a few months.
Caught bits of the first half. He was playing the more reserved 8, wasn't he?
Bang average footballer.
Possibly Cleverley as a number 7. Hopefully he'll be a consistent work horse with good technique to add depth. But a number 7 he is not.
He actually is the number 7. You must have terrible eyesight, it was on the back of his shirt in a large white font.
Showed some serious quality at times, good pressing, good sense of space.
Other times very wasteful in passing, and set pieces.
Don't read much into it.

He plays like a number 8, yet he wears Ronaldo and Beckham's old shirt. Probably a good move to rid the curse, but also, a bit sad.
It's just a shirt number, it really doesn't mean anything.
Bang average, Cleverley. There are some incredibly dull responses here after the first half of football in preseason, coming back from injury.
Amazing quality shirt. Still wearable since 1997!
I don't see anything more than a squad player in him, useful but nothing special.
One of our best ever number 8s wore that shirt, long before Ronaldo and Beckham.
Based off 45 minutes in pre-season playing with a load of kids?
I don't feel awfully excited about this signing but feck me this place 
No watching Chelsea and England games over the last 12 months.
