Ten Hag’s tactics behind signing Mount
In his first season at the club, Erik ten Hag used the 4-3-2-1 in possession, which was quite flexible, but the best period would see the fullbacks invert and number eight joining the attacking midfielder to create a 4-1-4-1. Man United want Mason Mount to create a 3-8 roll alongside Bruno Fernandez and ahead of Casemiro. These techniques will provide great mobility and a high level of technical skills.
Mason Mount’s skills
Mason Mount is a well rounded attacking mid-fielder, with great mobility and he is energetic with a controlled touch. The English midfielder also has an impressive vision and great way of passing.
