I might be in the minority here but I am relieved that it is looking like Mount will not be joining us. For me there are better players in his profile particularly in that reported price tag. Honestly feel like Maddison has so much more to offer with a much wider range of technical ability, so I really hope that we target him.
If I were a United fan I would be disappointed with this if it were to happen. Other than fulfilling the English quota I feel like he doesn't offer a whole lot more to what they already have. A club of United's magnitude should always be after one of the best in the position they are after and if they are looking for a player like this then Barella would be top of my list. Even Milinkovic-Savic would have more to offer at a reduced price. Mount does have the potential to prove me otherwise though, but I just don't see him ever reaching that elite midfielder category. There are so many underrated players in this position out there, Soler from PSG is one I have always rated as well.
