I was never a fan of Mount and am just as surprised by his signing as everyone else but we should have faith in ETH and give him more games to get settled in. Casemiro took a few games to get going and even Martinez. I'd wait until Jan/Feb.

Playing Devils advocate here, but we have had other players in the Fergie era that started badly. May, Vidic and Evra are three that come to mind. Same as Antony (Although hes still shit so far), some players need a lot of time to bed in. Drogba at Chelsea was shit his first season as well.
Lets give him a chance before we hang him out to dry eh?
Vidic and Evra came from different leagues and different levels of football. Therefore there is potential for a natural adjustment period as they acclimatise to their new surroundings
Mount did not.
Mount came from the Premier League and has played in it for some times now. He did not need an adjustment period. He's just been absolute shit, which is par for the course if you look at his last year, year and a half. What we are seeing now, with Mount, is his level of football. He's just shit, and an utter waste of money - especially considering we do not have the money to waste. I'd be happy if he never put a United shirt on ever again and we trusted in youth. This useless waste of space is never going to push us on to the next level - I'd rather gamble on a youth prodigy. Bench? Sure. He can run around pretty good. But that's a lot of money to throw at someone who isn't good enough for our first team, outside of running about, when it's our first team that needs quality.
I for one think he's played very well. He's been let down by a total lack of midfield behind him though.
EtH must have inside information about an imminent change of rules to 12 a side. As soon as that is made public, the naysayers will see how shrewd it was to sign a second number 10
Toxic, man.

Get a grip. Im certain you’d bash any youth player who didn’t deliver in their first game.
Mounts not a youth player?

How are you still the Mount threads?Is this sarcasm? I see no white text.
14 passes in 85 minutes, 0 tackles, 0 chances created, and the damning stats go on and on about how god awful he has been, and will continue to be. Someone posted just how bad he's been somewhere in this thread, (or the player performance thread), but I'm too lazy to find it.
It is utterly dreadful on my behalf, that when his injury was announced, I was thankful. I have NEVER felt this way about a player before. But I know, if he didn't get injured, ETH would have continued to play him and we could kiss our season goodbye.
Keep this waste of space away from the first team.

Genuinely surprised you didn't blame him for the goals conceded against Forest as well.

Yeah let's take it out on him!If it turns out we spent most of our transfer funds on him it's just inexcusable.
Yeah let's take it out on him!
It's been 2 games man
Let's be honest Man Utd fans - when we played against Chelsea, have we ever been "scared" of Mount as our opponents? I have never heard of that.

If we need to give 50 games' failure to determine that a player is not good enough for us, we will end up in the championship.
I never felt “scared” of any opposition midfielders aside from that great Barcelona trip (plus Messi).People don't rule out Mount as a No. 8 based on 2 games. It is based on Mount's performances in Chelsea for the whole 22-23 season, England, and Mount's own skillset.

For us.It's been 2 games man
What would you be willing to bet that United will be relegated if Mount plays 50 matches for us?
I mean giving every player, James Garner,Zidane Iqbal, Charlie Savage, and so on.

Everyone already is aware Mount had a bad 2022-23 season. The previous 2 he was the Chelsea POTY and won the fecking Champions League. You’re ridiculous.People don't rule out Mount as a No. 8 based on 2 games. It is based on Mount's performances in Chelsea for the whole 22-23 season, England, and Mount's own skillset.

Yeah them and Mount are same.

Mount's skillset doesn't complement those of Bruno and Casemiro's , it is that simple.
Ok, so now both Mata and Mount are shitty players. Got it.Mata was Chelsea POTY for 2 years with MUCH better numbers and won the fecking Champions League before he joined us. So???
Don't get me wrong, Mata was decent for us, but in the end he was still a misfit to us.
So many players get written off too quickly. We need to give players some time, it is stupid to write a player off after 2 games. We had that so many times in the pasttheir abilities are not the same, but the reasoning is the same - When you know the mechanism why something doesn't work, you don't need to give that thing a long try to prove it doesn't work. I don't need to smoke to know that smoking is bad for my lung.

I am so tired of those "it's only 2 games" "it 's only 10 games" "it's only half season" stuff (the same was said about Sancho in last couple years), these thinking (shared by fans and our club's officials) IS the reason why we are so far behind - instead of thinking forward, we make decisions passively through "prove it doesn't work!" "give him one more chance" thinking, the result is that we keep trying things that dont tick for a prolong period of time, dragging our results down, and we only sell players when their stocks are at the bottom.
Our management perhaps share the same mentality as the fans here, that's why we have been doing so poorly in terms of team building and management.
