Mason Mount "Will Bring Dynamism" To Manchester United, Says Erik Ten Hag

Erik ten Hag has tipped summer signing Mason Mount to be a hit at Manchester United after watching his debut in a pre-season friendly.

Mount, who joined from Chelsea in a £60 million transfer earlier this month, played the first 45 minutes of United's 2-0 win over Leeds in Oslo on Wednesday.

He came close to scoring with an ambitious long-range shot and also caught the eye with some sharp pressing.

Mount is known for being very physically fit and his new manager believes that this will help him make a positive impact for United at both ends of the pitch.

"He will bring dynamism into our game and that was one of our conclusions last season," Ten Hag told MUTV after Wednesday's game, which was won by second-half goals from substitutes Noam Emeran and Joe Hugill.

"His vision is to play the offensive. But also he wants to be multi-functional, he wants to be complete.

"When you're playing in midfield, you have to attack, but you also have to defend. We need to be more dynamic in the midfield department.

"I'm sure he will contribute to the success of United because he is a quality player."
