Mount’s natural position is as an attacking midfielder, a role currently occupied by United’s star Bruno Fernandes. Last season, Ten Hag occasionally shuffled Fernandes out wide to accommodate other players, typically Wout Weghorst or Marcel Sabitzer. Mount, considered an upgrade on both, might get to play in his preferred role in Manchester.

Possible formations: (Fernandes – Mount – Rashford) OR (Fernandes – Mount – Sancho) OR (Antony – Mount – Fernandes)
